Model years to avoid

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

3 model years on record, 236 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 1. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2024 (blank). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

Every year

  1. 2026 1 recall 19 complaints
  2. 2025 3 recalls 12 complaints
  3. 2024 blank 205 complaints
