Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #00V258001September 8, 2000223,194 vehicles affected

  equipment: other: labels

  Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Some of these vehicles were built with incorrect payload information on the vehicle certification label. The payload shown on the label is greater than the maximum validated payload. If the vehicle were loaded to the incorrectly labeled payload, it may not ride and handle in the manner that the driver expects.

  This could result in a loss of control of the vehicle or an inability to stop the vehicle within expected stopping distances.

  Remedy

  Owners will be sent a new label for installation on the driver's door of the vehicle.

• NHTSA recall #00V055000February 28, 200010,674 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

  Vehicle description: light duty pickup trucks equipped with 4-WHEEL disc brakes. Some of these vehicles have an antilock brake system (ABS) motor containing an out-of-specification spring clip. This clip could allow the motor bearing to become misaligned. If misalignment occurs, eventually the ABS would be non-functional.

  The base brakes would remain fully functional, but the dynamic rear proportioning (drp) system, which optimizes front to rear brake balance, would become inoperative.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the brake pressure module valve assembly.

• NHTSA recall #99V220000August 11, 19993,947 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

  Vehicle description: s -trucks equipped with 2 wheel drive. These vehicles may have had the right-hand antilock brake system (ABS) module feed pipe and/or brake crossover pipe tube nuts tightened without seating the pipe-flared-ends enough to withstand normal assembly and vehicle inputs without partially unseating. This does not comply with requirements of FMVSS no. 105, "hydraulic service brake normal, emergency, and park braking performance."

  If this occurred, the seating seal could be broken during vehicle assembly, or from early road inputs or brake fluid cycling, and a leak could occur increasing the brake stopping distance.

  Remedy

  Dealers will inspect the brake pipe union for signs of brake fluid, and if necessary, install a new brake pipe union.
