NHTSA complaint #472924 (ODI reference 10067911) concerns a 1997 CHEVROLET CAVALIER and was filed on April 27, 2004. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 11, 2004. The report was geocoded to Illinois based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems, 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 CAVALIER cohort independently describe similar equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
