Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The federal record shows complaint and recall activity for the 2014‑2022 model years, with complaints peaking at 21 in 2016 and declining to 2 in 2022, while recalls fell from a high of three per year (2015‑2017) to zero in 2022. Technical service bulletins followed a similar downward trend, dropping from 249 in 2015 to 40 in 2022. No federal‑record data are supplied for the 2023 model year, so the complaint, recall, investigation, or TSB counts for that year are unknown. Consequently, the position of 2023 within the observed arc cannot be determined from the provided information. Without specific 2023 figures, a definitive assessment of whether this year is a good purchase cannot be made based solely on the federal record.
