Crank bolt comes loose and breaks through the cover leaking oil on exhaust and rear tire while going down the road. No warning indicators when it happens leaving you stranded on the side of the road risking being hit by another vehicle. Oil on rear tire poses crash risk and riding in a group poses oil slick hazard to other riders.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
