No owner complaints are on file for this vehicle. It has been recalled 2 times.
Defect. THE FUEL TANK PROTECTION BARRIER COLLAPSED DURING IMPACT TESTING. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY."
Risk. IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, THE FUEL TANK CAN RUPTURE, LEAKING FUEL INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy. OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH REPLACEMENT FUEL BARRIERS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Defect. THE STUD WELDS ON THE FRAME CAN FAIL, CAUSING THE "P" CLAMPS HOLDING THE AIR BRAKE SUPPLY LINES TO DISENGAGE FROM THE FRAME. THE AIR BRAKE SUPPLY LINES CAN COME TO REST ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, DAMAGING THE LINES RESULTING IN A LEAK TO THE SYSTEM, LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE, AND ENGAGEMENT OF THE SPRING BRAKES.
Risk. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSTALL A "P" CLAMP RETAINING THE AIR LINE TO THE FRAME.
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.
