Recall campaigns

EngineWarranty extensionmost recently Mar 26, 2026
A warranty extension does not establish that this vehicle is covered, or that coverage is unexpired. Coverage depends on the program, the VIN, and its date of first sale — confirm with a franchised dealer.

A warranty extension does not establish that this vehicle is covered, or that coverage is unexpired. Coverage depends on the program, the VIN, and its date of first sale — confirm with a franchised dealer.

Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety recall at no cost to the owner — by repair, replacement or refund — for vehicles not more than 15 years old on the date the defect was determined.

Parts are sometimes on back-order and some remedies are interim, so a dealer may not be able to complete the work immediately. A specific vehicle’s current recall status is available through NHTSA’s VIN recall lookup.

These federal records are not an input to OAV’s price verdict.

These records describe the 2016 model-year, not any individual vehicle, and are not an inspection. One complaint can be recorded against more than one component, so counts do not sum to the model-year total. Service records for any component listed here are worth requesting from the seller.

Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. Mileage is self-reported and frequently rounded. Complaint records as of 2026-09-28. Recall records as of 2026-09-28. Manufacturer communications as of 2026-09-28.
