These records describe the 2020 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. Manufacturer communications as of 2026-09-28.
