Recalls
Safety issues the manufacturer must repair for free. A recall means confirm the fix was done, not walk away.
No recalls on record for this model
No safety recalls were found in this dataset. It is still worth entering the exact VIN on NHTSA before purchase, since recalls can be added at any time.
Is 13 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2014 and 2023, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2014 has 13 complaints on file, fewer than the 2013 (24) and fewer than the 2016 (20). Of the 4 model years of the Smart Fortwo we cover, the 2013 has the most (24). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
