Safety Recalls
Official recall campaigns. Tap one to see the danger and the fix.
What is a recall, really?
A recall means the government made the manufacturer admit a safety defect — and the fix is free at any dealer, forever, even for used cars. Recalls range from a software update to "the steering wheel can detach," so read the danger line on each one. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof each recall was completed, or have a dealer run the VIN. Recalls also have a quieter cousin worth reading: technical service bulletins.
NHTSA Campaign 23V319000
What's wrong: PJ Trailers is recalling certain 2022-2024 LD, LY, LX, LS, CC, DD, TJ, and TS trailers equipped with a Demco EZ Latch Gooseneck Coupler. The coupler mounting bolts may loosen and cause the coupler to separate from the inner tube.
The danger: A coupler that separates can allow the trailer to disconnect from the tow vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the couplers, free of charge. Owner notification letter were mailed June 15, 2023. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1-866-752-8781.
NHTSA Campaign 23V857000
What's wrong: PJ Trailers is recalling certain 2024 B5, B6, B8, C8, CC, CE, D3, D5, D8, DD, DG, DL, DM, DR, DT, F8, FD, FY, L6, LD, LS, LX, LY, P8, PL, T1, T6, T7, T8, T9, TF, and TJ trailers. The sidewall of the tires may experience bubbling and separate, causing loss of tire pressure. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 119, "New Pneumatic Tires-Other Than Passenger Cars."
The danger: A loss of tire pressure increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the tires as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 08, 2024. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1-866-752-8781.
NHTSA Campaign 24V837000
What's wrong: PJ Trailers is recalling certain 2024-2025 LD trailers. The air ride suspension brake axles may be installed incorrectly, resulting in reduced braking ability.
The danger: Reduced braking ability can increase the distance required to stop and the risk of a crash.
The fix: PJ Trailers will inspect and replace the axles as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 26, 2024. Owners may contact PJ Trailers customer service at 1-903-669-0228.

Where Owners Report Problems
Where owners report the most trouble — based on 2 complaints. Tap a part to read the real reports.
Raw count — best-sellers naturally log more complaints than rare cars, so judge it against the peer comparison below, not on its own.
Why don't we show complaints per vehicle sold?
Because no official source publishes sales counts per model — that data is sold by private firms, and the free numbers online are guesses. A rate built on a guessed denominator is a guess wearing a lab coat, so we refuse to show one. Instead we show comparisons where fleet size cancels out or is disclosed: the same model across its own years, the crash/fire severity mix, and the peer ranking below — each with its methodology attached.

Crash-Test Safety Ratings
Official U.S. government 5-star crash-test results.
How to read these stars
These come from the government physically crash-testing this vehicle — front, side, and rollover — and scoring it 1 to 5 stars. Ratings are per body style, so a sedan and its coupe twin can differ. If a vehicle shows no rating, it usually means the government never tested that exact configuration — untested is not the same as unsafe, and we'll never blur that line.
We couldn't find this vehicle in NHTSA's crash-test catalog, so we have no official star rating to show. That may mean it was never tested, or that NHTSA lists it under a different name — we won't guess either way, and we won't invent a rating. Check NHTSA's official ratings search →

Fuel Economy (MPG)
Official EPA estimates — the real numbers, not the brochure.
No official EPA fuel-economy match for this exact model. Rather than show a guess, we're leaving it blank.
