Hazard
2 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 2 alternator failure recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all alternator failure 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.
Kawasaki is recalling certain 2023 ZX400 motorcycles because the alternator may fail due to a loose rotor connection, potentially causing engine stall and increasing crash risk. Dealers will inspect and tighten the rotor bolt at no charge.
Polaris is recalling about 200 Model Years 2022-2023 RZR Pro R and Pro R 4 recreational off-road vehicles because the alternator can fail during operation and pose a fire hazard. The company has received four reports of alternator failure, including two fire incidents, with no injuries reported.
