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.

Chrysler is recalling 2020-2021 Dodge Durango vehicles because the side curtain air bag fastener may be loose or missing. A loose fastener could cause incorrect air bag deployment, increasing injury risk.
Navistar is recalling certain 2019-2021 International LT and RH trucks due to wrist pin cracks that can cause connecting rod failure and engine stalls. Affected owners should contact their dealer for free repair.

A software error in the radio system of certain 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vehicles may prevent the rearview camera from displaying, reducing rear visibility and increasing crash risk.
Certain 2019-2021 RAM PROMASTER CITY vehicles may experience turn signal light failures that do not change their flashing rate, preventing drivers from knowing the signals have failed and increasing crash risk. Dealers will update the Body Controller Module software at no cost.
Keystone and Dutchmen travel trailers from 2022-2023 have awnings whose fabric may separate at the welded seam, causing the awning to drop. Dealers will repair or replace the awning free of charge.
