In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
4 safety recall campaigns, 2 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.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
CONTACT BETWEEN THE SUPPORT AND TIRE COULD RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE, LEADING TO LOSS OF THE VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
WHEEL SEPARATION CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. A DETACHED WHEEL ALSO POSES A RISK OF INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES.
THIS COULD RESULT IN ASPHYXIATION OR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THE HEAT BUILD UP FROM THE EXHAUST CAN ALSO RESULT IN A FIRE.
Two 2012 DUTCHMEN RUBICONs 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.
