What the data says

Nearby model years: 2020

Most reported problem categories

Related NHTSA component labels are grouped into clearer categories to reduce duplicate-looking labels. A single consumer complaint can reference more than one vehicle component, so category counts may exceed the number of individual complaints. Counts summarize reports, not confirmed defects.

How to interpret complaints

NHTSA consumer complaints can help surface possible safety trends, but a complaint is not a finding that a defect exists. The count reflects records returned for this exact model year, make and model when Curiworld last fetched the official dataset.
