COMMUNICATION
An inaccurate vehicle location may delay emergency responders, increasing the risk of injury.
3 safety recall campaigns, 5 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An inaccurate vehicle location may delay emergency responders, increasing the risk of injury.
If the air bags do not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, there would be an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash.
If the adhesive bond fails and results in a loss of torque to the rear wheels, the vehicle operator may be unable to move the vehicle, or may experience deceleration if the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Two 2016 MERCEDES BENZ AMG GT Ss can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
