Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The provided federal record data does not include information for the 2024 model year—the most recent entries are 2020 and 2021. Analyzing the available trend from 2018-2021, complaint levels remained notably low (ranging from 2 to 16), while recall frequency actually increased from 1 to 4 over this period, and TSBs grew from 765 to 927. The 2021 data shows only 2 complaints but 4 recalls, suggesting the manufacturer addressed potential issues proactively rather than through consumer-reported problems. The target year top complaint areas (Tires and Electrical System/Air Bags/Engine) each recorded just 1 complaint, with zero crash or fire complaints. Since no 2024-specific data exists in this dataset, it is impossible to assess whether this model year carries forward the low complaint trend or the increasing recall pattern. Given the data limitation, a prospective buyer should seek the most current 2024-specific recall and complaint information from NHTSA rather than relying on this historical record alone.
