Agency
NHTSA oversees recalls of vehicles, tires, child seats, and motor-vehicle equipment. Each campaign is identified by an NHTSA campaign number.
NHTSA regulates the safety of every motor vehicle sold in the US plus tires, child seats, and motor-vehicle equipment. Recalls are coordinated under a numbering scheme called the NHTSA Campaign Number — a string like 25V123000 where the first two digits are the year, V is for vehicle (T is for tires, C for child seats, E for equipment), and the rest identifies the campaign. Every vehicle in our database can be looked up by VIN to check whether any active campaigns affect it.
NHTSA recalls are unusual in two ways. First, the cause is usually a defined defect or non-compliance with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard rather than a pathogen or contamination event — so 'severity' tracks the consequence of the defect (does the airbag fail to deploy, does the steering lose assist, does the fuel tank leak) rather than reported illnesses. Second, every NHTSA recall is mandatory for the manufacturer to remedy at no charge to the owner, for as long as the vehicle is on the road. There's no expiration on a NHTSA campaign.
We enrich every recall with the full make / model / year-range affected so you can see at a glance whether your vehicle is in scope. If you're not sure, the VIN lookup decodes your specific vehicle and cross-references the database. The remedy is always free — usually a dealer visit for a part replacement, software update, or inspection.
Ford is recalling certain 2022 and 2021 Bronco vehicles because the side impact sensors may not be properly secured. This could cause airbags to deploy unintentionally or fail to deploy in a crash, increasing injury risk.
Williamsen-Godwin is recalling specific trailers equipped with Smart-Steer 2.0 axles because the steering arm may fracture. This defect can cause parts to separate, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford is recalling certain 2021-2023 F-59, E-350, and E-450 vehicles. Paint peeling on fuel tank welds can cause corrosion and fuel leaks, creating a fire risk.
General Motors is recalling certain 2022-2023 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles with improperly welded front impact bars. The structural defect may prevent crash sensors from working correctly, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
A retaining ring on the 2021 Porsche Taycan's suspension strut may come loose, causing loss of vehicle control and increasing crash risk. Repairs will be provided free by Porsche dealers.
Easymile is recalling 2018-2019 EZ10 autonomous passenger shuttles because a defective 48-volt battery may catch fire while charging.
Jayco is recalling 2023 Solstice and Entegra Expanse recreational vehicles because the HVAC system's defrost and defog controls may stop working. This loss of visibility control increases the risk of crashes under certain driving conditions.
Forest River is recalling certain 2023 Wildwood, Salem, and Stealth EVO travel trailers. The 8-gauge refrigerator wire lacks over-current protection, creating a fire risk from melted wiring.

Hyundai Translead is recalling 2020-2021 Dry Van and Reefer Trailers because a loose brake pad retaining clip may detach, reducing brake performance or causing a flat tire.
McLaren is recalling 164 2023 Artura vehicles because high-pressure fuel pipe nuts may loosen, causing fuel leaks that could lead to fires. Dealers will replace the fuel pipes at no cost.
Navistar is recalling 2023 IC CE and IN RE commercial buses because incorrectly tightened fasteners may allow the rear axle to shift, increasing crash risk.
Kia is recalling certain 2023 Forte vehicles due to a manufacturing error that may cause the front left steering knuckle to crack, resulting in loss of steering control and increased crash risk.
