TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 REXHALL AMERICAN CLIPPER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN OCTOBER OF 2007 FOR THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL. THE SPEED CONTROL WAS NOT DISCONNECTED DUE TO THE DRIVING DISTANCE TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY UNTIL THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE TO PERFORM THE COMPLETE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE WAIT TIME IS TOO LENGTHY. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATED 4/16/08 *CN

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.
