Methodology

Data sources

Every figure on this site is drawn from public government records: the federal complaint database (owner-reported safety complaints since 1995), the federal recall register (defect and compliance campaigns since 1967), and EPA fuel-economy data. Complaint counts are owner reports, not verified defect findings. Recall repairs are always free at franchised dealers.

How the parts links work

Each part links to a live eBay search for the exact year, make, and model. As an eBay Partner, DefectFile may earn a commission on qualifying purchases. We quote no prices and no listing counts: every number on this site is a dated historical record.
