Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Federal data positions the 2024 model year at the stable end of a volatility arc that peaked in 2020, when the M8 generation recorded five complaints and five recalls alongside 191 TSBs before dropping to zero complaints and two recalls by 2021. Against this trajectory, the 2024 target year registers only two total complaints—split evenly between wheels/unknown/other and powertrain/fuel categories—with zero crash or fire incidents reported, though the dataset does not specify recall activity for this model year. This represents a significant normalization from the 2020 production spike and suggests manufacturing consistency has improved, though the low complaint volume may also reflect limited time-in-service for newer vehicles. Given the minimal federal complaint footprint and absence of severe safety incidents in the record, 2024 appears to be a sound vintage within this generation to purchase.
