Hazard
3 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 3 air brake defect recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 1 (33%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all air brake defect recalls regardless of agency”, “all listeria recalls in California”, “all airbag recalls in 2025”. The tags are extracted from each recall’s source text during the LLM rewrite step and validated against a fixed schema.
A recall can carry multiple tags — a Listeria recall might also be tagged ready-to-eat and undeclared-allergen. Use the full-text search if you want to combine hazard tags with brand or category filters.
Autocar is recalling certain 2015-2022 Xspotter and Xpeditor vehicles with insufficient air in their brake system tanks. The defect can reduce brake function and increase stopping distance.
Volvo Trucks is recalling 6,982 commercial trucks (2021 VHD, VNL, VNR, and VAH models) because damaged collets in the air brake system may cause park brakes to apply unexpectedly, potentially causing loss of vehicle control.
McNeilus is recalling certain Autocar trucks because air lines to the air holdback valve may have been incorrectly reconnected after chassis air tanks were relocated.
