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.
Arcimoto is recalling 2019-2020 FUV and 2020 Deliverator vehicles because high-voltage contactors may overheat, causing unexpected battery shutdowns and loss of motive power.
General Motors is recalling 2021 full-size SUVs because third-row seat belts may be entrapped or misrouted behind the seat-folding mechanism, potentially becoming damaged. A damaged seat belt could break during a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
Tiffin is recalling certain 2021 Phaeton recreational vehicles because the valve stem stabilizer can become loose, allowing the valve stem extender to contact the wheel, which can cause tire pressure loss and increase crash risk.
General Motors is recalling certain 2021 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles because the left or right axle shaft may be missing a retaining ring, which could separate during driving and cause loss of power, increasing crash risk.
Newmar is recalling 2021 New Aire, Dutch Star, and Ventana motorhomes because the brake pedal assembly may be missing a return spring. This can cause brake lights to stay on and brakes to remain engaged, increasing crash risk.
Braun Ambulances is recalling certain 2019-2021 Demers ambulances because the sliding attendant seat locking pin may fail, increasing injury risk in a crash.
Nissan is recalling certain 2021 Rogue vehicles with incorrect wheel nuts that may loosen and cause wheel vibration. This vibration may break wheel studs and cause wheel separation, increasing crash risk.

2021 Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles have a defective Occupant Detection System that may fail to prevent air bag deployment when a child restraint is detected in the front passenger seat, increasing crash injury risk.
Jayco is recalling 2021 Embark and Entegra Reatta motorhomes because an incorrectly routed LP furnace hose may cause a gas leak, increasing the risk of fire or explosion.

Highland Ridge RV is recalling 2019-2020 fifth wheels and travel trailers because an overtightened bolt may damage the stove's O-ring seal, causing a gas leak and increasing fire risk.
Certain 2021 Keystone Cougar trailers equipped with the Off the Grid Solar package may have an incorrectly wired inverter that energizes the shore power connection, posing an electrical shock risk. Keystone will repair the inverter at no charge.
Dexter Axle is recalling Ingersoll Smart-Steer self-steer axles because the steering arm may detach, potentially causing loss of steering control or road hazards.

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain 2021 Coachmen Viking and Clipper travel trailers because the cooktop may not be properly isolated from the furnace return air, which can cause the flame to invert and increase fire risk. Dealers will install and seal a panel free of charge.
ATC is recalling 2018-2021 ARV Gamechanger and Pro Bumper Pull trailers because the installed safety chains are rated lower than the trailer's axle capacity, posing a crash risk.

Chrysler is recalling approximately 19,214 2021 RAM heavy-duty trucks with diesel engines due to a potential electrical short in the intake heater relay that could cause vehicle fires. Owners should not park these vehicles indoors until repaired.
