1993 GMC SAFARI — Complaint #213929

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:TORSION BAR filed May 30, 2000

NHTSA complaint #213929 (ODI reference 862656) concerns a 1993 GMC SAFARI and was filed on May 30, 2000. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:front:springs:torsion bar, 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. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.

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 GMC SAFARI cohort independently describe similar suspension:front:springs:torsion bar 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 1993 GMC SAFARI shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
