Where it stands out against its peers
- Forward collision avoidance: more complaints than 93% of 2022 cars — 28% of its 216 complaints, where an ordinary 2022 car has 11%.
- Suspension: more complaints than 95% of 2022 cars — 8% of its 216 complaints, where an ordinary 2022 car has 2%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.

Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.

Regulator investigations
Opened by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. An investigation is a question the regulator asked about a possible defect, not a fault it found — most end without a recall.
Recall 23V-413 Post Remedy Failures
Recall query, opened December 2025, still open.
Became recall 26V051000.
What the maker told its dealers
Service bulletins are the manufacturer's own repair guidance to dealers, filed with NHTSA. A bulletin is not a defect finding; the count rises with how many things a maker writes down, not only with how many go wrong.
