Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2015 model recorded three crash‑related complaints and one fire‑related complaint, figures that exceed the two complaints reported for 2016 and the zero complaints in 2017. Its top complaint categories — Electrical System/Service Brakes and Service Brakes — each accounted for three reports, aligning with the broader focus on braking and electrical issues seen in later years. No recall data are listed for 2015, whereas 2016 experienced no recalls and 2017 saw a single recall, indicating a relatively stable recall environment after the target year. The pattern shows a decline in complaint volume and a sporadic recall history from 2015 through 2017. Consequently, the 2015 GS200T carries a higher risk profile than later model years and may be a less optimal choice for a used purchase.
