What the score means

An HEV Risk Index score of 25/100 places this vehicle in our low risk band. This score is a directional engineering estimate — derived from manufacturer specs, complaint trends, and hybrid system design, and not yet verified against NHTSA complaint data. It will be re-scored once that data is available.

See the five-factor HEV Risk Index methodology for how this score is calculated.

Verify with your regulator

Always verify recall status using your specific VIN on the regulator database — recall eligibility is vehicle-specific.

Before you buy or sign — what to verify

  • Check your specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (US) or Transport Canada (CA)
  • Confirm all open recalls have been completed — recall status is vehicle-specific
  • Verify hybrid battery health with an OBD-II scan (most independent shops can do this)
  • Check service history for "check hybrid system" warning lights or any P0C00/P0A0x DTC codes
  • Confirm warranty status — 8 years / 100,000 miles on hybrid battery (10 years / 150,000 miles in CARB states)
  • Inspect e-CVT operation — request a test drive and listen for any unusual noises from the transmission
