2006 SCION XB — Complaint #1593223
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS filed August 12, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1593223 (ODI reference 11243231) concerns a 2006 SCION XB and was filed on August 12, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 7, 2019. The vehicle had 54,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Illinois based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:hood:hinge and attachments, 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 SCION XB cohort independently describe similar structure:body:hood:hinge and attachments 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 2006 SCION XB shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
