Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Federal records indicate the 2019 model year occupies a stabilized position within the generation, recording 356 complaints and 7 recalls, which is significantly lower than the 2014 peak of 2,369 complaints and 19 recalls. While complaint volume dropped from 840 in 2018 to 356 in 2019, Technical Service Bulletins remained elevated at 510, surpassing the 350 recorded in 2017. The primary reported concerns involve Service Brakes, Hydraulic with 45 instances and Electrical System with 24 instances, though the data does not specify the root cause for the 40 complaints listed under Unknown Or Other. Compared to the following 2020 model year, which saw only 3 recalls, the 2019 unit required slightly more regulatory attention but avoids the massive TSB spike seen in 2021. Consequently, the 2019 model represents a viable used purchase within the generation, offering lower complaint exposure than the 2014 or 2018 model years despite persistent service bulletins.
