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 2010 model year represents a sharp inflection point in the federal record, characterized by a dramatic surge in Technical Service Bulletins from 172 in 2009 to 401 in 2010. Complaints increased sharply from 14 the previous year to 59, rising further to 82 in 2011 before TSBs peaked during 2013. Specific federal data highlights Structure and Fuel System concerns, alongside two active investigations and one fire complaint recorded for this year. While recalls increased slightly to 7 from 5 in 2009, the volume of service bulletins suggests widespread service needs. Given the significant spike in complaints and documented service procedures compared to the prior year, this is a higher-risk model year to purchase.
