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.
Starcraft is recalling certain 2022 Autumn Ridge Outfitter, Super Lite, and Super Lite Maxx travel trailers because the electric retractable awning's welded seam may separate, causing the awning to drop.
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.

Honda is recalling certain 2019-2021 Pilot vehicles due to faulty software that may prevent the rearview camera from displaying properly. This increases the risk of crashes since drivers cannot see behind the vehicle.
Honda is recalling 2018-2020 Odyssey, 2019-2020 Passport, and 2019-2021 Pilot vehicles with software causing the instrument panel to fail to display critical information (engine oil pressure, speedometer, gear position) and preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.
Brake caliper mounting bolts may loosen or detach on certain 2022-2023 Western Star 47X and 49X trucks, reducing brake performance. Dealers will inspect and tighten the bolts free of charge.
Jayco is recalling 2020-2022 Precept motorhomes because the heat shield beneath the storage compartment may be too short, allowing exhaust heat to melt it and increase fire risk.

Bentley is recalling certain 2021-2022 vehicles because the owner's manual incorrectly states the airbag will not deploy when the Passenger Airbag On symbol is illuminated. This could cause unsafe positioning during a crash.
General Motors is recalling 2021 Cadillac Escalade vehicles. The daytime running lights may not deactivate when headlights are on, which may cause glare and reduce visibility, increasing crash risk.
Ford is recalling 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles with rearview camera systems because the camera image may remain displayed after the vehicle shifts out of reverse, potentially distracting drivers and increasing crash risk.
