04 Notes on this floorplan
What East to West does not publish for the Della Terra 17BHS

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 10 recall campaigns and 1 owner complaint (model years 2005 on) against the Della Terra line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).
Too few reports to show a pattern. 1 complaint has been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. It covers structure.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Della Terra line page.
