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.
Nova Bus is recalling 2023 and 2022 LFS transit buses due to power steering hose assembly defects that could result in loss of steering assist and increased crash risk.
Polestar is recalling certain 2023 Polestar 2 vehicles due to a defect in the front left lower ball joint that could cause loss of steering control. Owners should contact their dealer for a free inspection and replacement.
Jayco is recalling certain 2021-2022 Seneca recreational vehicles because the windshield wiper arms may fail, reducing driver visibility and increasing crash risk. Owners should contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267 for a free inspection and replacement.
Nova Bus is recalling certain 2019-2023 LFS and LFS Artic transit buses. The transmission yoke may separate, causing driveshaft separation and sudden loss of drive power, increasing the risk of crashes and passenger injury.
The 2022 Nissan Sentra may have a defective driver's side cowl seal, allowing water intrusion and electrical corrosion. This could cause loss of airbag function, exterior lighting, and braking safety features, increasing crash and fire risk.
Ford is recalling certain 2022 Lincoln Aviator vehicles due to improperly heat-treated engine rails that may reduce structural protection in crashes and potentially detach while driving. Owners should contact Ford for a free inspection and replacement.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 2022 Freightliner Cascadia trucks because their anti-lock brake systems don't store fault codes when the vehicle is turned off for more than 5 seconds. This impairs diagnostic features and may increase crash risk.
Forest River is recalling 205 2022 R-POD travel trailers because the Federal Placard shows an incorrect axle rating (4400 lbs instead of 3500 lbs), which can cause overload and loss of control.
Certain 2020-2022 Nissan Frontier and Titan vehicles have a defective transmission parking pawl that may not engage when shifted to park, creating a rollaway risk. Dealers will replace the component at no cost.
Certain 2022 Ford Broncos and Rangers have windshields that may not be properly bonded and could separate during a crash, increasing injury risk.
Ford is recalling certain 2022 Lincoln Navigator vehicles due to headlight control module software that may fail, causing side marker and daytime running lights to go dark. This increases crash risk from reduced visibility.
Ford is recalling certain 2023 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty vehicles due to loose or missing steering column bolts that could cause steering column separation, increasing the risk of crashes due to loss of steering control.
The rearview camera video output may fail on certain 2020-2023 Ford Explorer and Lincoln vehicles, reducing rear visibility and increasing crash risk. Ford will replace the camera free of charge.
Honda is recalling certain 2023 CMX300 motorcycles. The right crank case cover was improperly painted and may fall out, allowing oil to leak onto the exhaust pipe or rear tire, risking fire or crash.
BMW is recalling 2023 X1 models because rear seat belts may have been pinched during assembly, potentially preventing proper function in a crash. Dealers will inspect and adjust the trim panels at no charge.
Certain 2021-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles may have a missing weld in the child seat tether anchorage system. This could allow the tether to separate during a crash, increasing the risk of child injury.
Chrysler is recalling 2021-2022 Pacifica and 2021 Voyager vehicles because the second-row seat mounting latch may fail to secure the seat properly, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Certain 2021 Toyota C-HR vehicles have a radar sensor that was not activated during production, disabling the pre-collision system and forward collision avoidance. Dealers will activate the sensor at no cost.
Nissan is recalling 2022 INFINITI QX60 vehicles because the second-row seat track may be missing a mounting bolt. This could allow the seat track to move during a crash, increasing injury risk.
Mitsubishi is recalling certain 2022 Outlander vehicles because the fuel pump may fail due to incorrectly fused internal components. Fuel pump failure can cause engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford is recalling certain 2020-2023 Lincoln Aviators and Corsairs because the seat belt warning chime may activate for less than 4 seconds, failing to properly alert unbelted drivers.
Chrysler is recalling the 2022 Dodge Charger for shifter assembly defects. An improperly heat-treated shifter may slip out of drive position, causing sudden loss of power and increasing crash risk.
Navistar is recalling 2023 IC Bus EV, CE, and RE models due to improperly heat-treated fasteners in suspension and steering joints. These fasteners may lose tension and cause steering instability, increasing crash risk.
General Motors is recalling 5 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles due to a manufacturing defect that left the air bag sensing diagnostic module in manufacturing mode. The module was not activated at the assembly plant, meaning air bags will not deploy in a crash.
Certain 2021-2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe vehicles may experience engine shutdown due to communication loss, reducing drive power and increasing crash risk.
