2016 CHEVROLET CRUZE — Complaint #1475502
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES filed June 13, 2018
NHTSA complaint #1475502 (ODI reference 11101608) concerns a 2016 CHEVROLET CRUZE and was filed on June 13, 2018. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 12, 2018. The report was geocoded to New Jersey based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:pressure relief devices, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET CRUZE cohort independently describe similar fuel system, other:storage:tank assembly:pressure relief devices failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 CHEVROLET CRUZE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
