Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2019 model year carries the highest technical service bulletin count (459) in the federal record—nearly triple the 2026 volume—indicating extensive early-production service activity. With 44 complaints and 11 recalls, 2019 registers below the 2020 peak (52 complaints, 12 recalls) but above the subsequent 2021-2022 trough, when complaints fell to 36 and 18 respectively and recalls dropped to 9 and 2. This positions 2019 at the start of a downward trend that stabilizes through 2022 before complaint volumes rebound in 2023-2024. Electrical system issues account for the largest share of 2019 complaints with six filings, though the data does not specify underlying causes. While 2019 exhibits elevated service bulletin and recall activity compared to the 2021-2022 period, it remains a viable purchase with documented maintenance history, though buyers prioritizing minimal warranty exposure may prefer the lower-recall 2022 model year.
