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.
Volvo Trucks is recalling certain 2020 and 2021 VNL and VNR trucks because steering gear fasteners may not have been properly tightened. Loose fasteners could result in loss of vehicle control, 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.
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.
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.
Newmar is recalling 2017–2021 Dutch Star and 2021 Kountry Star motorhomes because the brake light switch may chafe against the windshield wiper mechanism, preventing brake lights from illuminating. This increases crash risk.

Certain 2019-2021 Heartland Cyclone, 2020-2021 Bighorn Traveler, and 2020-2021 Elkridge recreational trailers may have insufficient bracing on the front landing legs, which could buckle and collapse while parked, causing the trailer to drop unexpectedly.
Grand Design Solitude recreational trailers (2017-2021) are being recalled because the propane supply line may contact the refrigerator burner tube, potentially causing a propane gas leak and increasing fire risk.
PJ Trailers is recalling 2020-2021 DE model trailers. The attachment bolts securing the hydraulic cylinder may fail when the dump box is operated, creating a risk that the box could suddenly drop and injure a person.
PACCAR is recalling approximately 630 2022-2023 Kenworth T680 tractor trailers. The mud flap may contact the fuel tank during operation, causing wear that could result in fuel spillage and increase crash or injury risk.
