Within that volume, owners reported 1 crash, 0 fires, 1 injury, and 0 fatalities. No NCAP 5-star crash-test rating is available for this model year in the federal database.

Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability.
NHTSA currently has 21 investigation files overlapping the 1995 929, and 1 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

PLEASE SEE MY E-MAIL OF SEPT. 4 WHEREIN I DESCRIBED THE TIRE FAILURE FULLY. OUR TIRE SHREDDED AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND APPARENTLY WE ARE LUCKY NOT TO BE INJURED PHYSICALLY...OR WORSE. HOWEVER, I AM FURIOUS THAT FIRESTONE DEALERS WERE NOT ONLY STILL SELLING THE TIRES THE WEEK BEFORE THE ANNOUNCED RECALL, BUT WHEN QUESTIONED ASSURED ME - WHEN I ACTUALLY QUESTIONED WHETHER I WANTED TO PUT ANY MORE OF THESE TIRES ON MY CAR ( I NOW HAVE FOUR FIRESTONE/BRIDGESTONES!) - THEY ASSURED ME THEY WERE "GOOD TIRES". PLEASE CALL ME OR LOCATE THAT E-MAIL OR I WOULD BE GLAD TO FAX IT.( DOT NUMBER: )
