Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 6 reports mention a crash, 2 mention a fire and 7 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 5 of 6, fall under brake wear.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Each of seat belt and windshield has a recall on the same system: seat belt, 25V-607; windshield, 23V-180. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Complaints are still climbing. 2025 brought 72, the most of any year so far. So far in 2026, 75 more have come in.
