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.
Forest River is recalling 2021 East to West recreational trailers (approximately 115 units). The grill can be stowed with the propane hose attached and burners on, which can increase fire risk.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling 2019 A 220 vehicles because missing tire pressure labels may lead to incorrect inflation and increased crash risk.
E-One is recalling specific 2019-2021 emergency vehicles because LCD displays may lock up, potentially delaying emergency efforts.
Land Rover is recalling 2020 Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque vehicles because a software error may cause the speedometer to randomly switch units, potentially distracting drivers.
Kia is recalling 294,756 vehicles from 2011-2015 due to a risk of engine compartment fire while driving. Dealers will inspect for leaks and update software.
Volkswagen Group of America (Audi) is recalling 2021 Audi A6, Q7, RS6, and RS7 vehicles. An electrical connector can detach from door crash sensors, potentially delaying restraint system activation during side-impact crashes.
Hyundai is recalling 2019-2021 Kona Electric and 2019-2020 Nexo vehicles because a software issue may reduce braking performance, increasing crash risk.
Vac-Tron is recalling specific excavator trailers because they lack required rear impact guards, increasing the risk of injury if struck from behind.
Hyundai is recalling specific 2011-2016 models because engine connecting rod bearings may wear prematurely, potentially causing engine damage, fire, or stalling.
Forest River is recalling 2021 Coachmen Galleria motorhomes because damaged brake hoses may leak fluid, increasing crash risk.

PACCAR is recalling 2020-2021 Peterbilt 520 vehicles because incorrectly connected brake components may destabilize the vehicle during stability control events, increasing crash risk.
Bridgestone is recalling specific Firestone and Bridgestone tires that may have a pinhole in the sidewall, which can cause slow air leaks and increase crash risk.
Volkswagen Group (Audi) is recalling 2020-2021 S5, A5, and RS5 vehicles due to missing anti-abrasion protection on rear light wiring. In a crash, exposed wires may be damaged, potentially disabling door locks and hazard lights.
Certain 2020-2021 Toyota RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, Avalon, and Avalon Hybrid vehicles may have damaged steering column breakaway pins that could reduce airbag performance in a crash. Toyota will replace the steering column at no cost.
Kibbi is recalling certain 2019-2021 Renegade motorhomes with Dometic cooking stoves due to a potential gas leak from an overtightened saddle valve bolt, which could increase fire risk. Dealers will install repair kits free of charge.

Bugatti is recalling 2017-2021 Chiron, Chiron Sport, and Divo vehicles because the Electronic Stability Control system may not reset to the correct mode after restarting, increasing crash risk.
Bugatti is recalling 2020 Chiron and Divo vehicles because the rear left-hand driveshaft may break, posing a crash risk.
