Hazard
5 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 5 cargo loss 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 (20%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all cargo loss 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.
Volvo Trucks is recalling certain 2024–2026 VNL (4) trucks because load lock clamps on the cab back may loosen, allowing cargo to shift or fall and create a crash hazard.
Mack is recalling 2025-2026 Pioneer vehicles because load lock clamps may loosen, causing cargo loss and increasing crash risk.
GM is recalling certain 2024 Silverado HD and Sierra HD vehicles with power-unlatching tailgates because the gate-release switch may short circuit and unlatch the tailgate.
General Motors is recalling certain 2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks due to faulty electronic tailgate switches that may inadvertently unlatch while the vehicle is parked. The defect can allow the tailgate to open while driving, potentially causing cargo loss and creating a road hazard.
Chrysler is recalling 2019-2022 RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickup trucks because the tailgate may not latch properly due to misaligned strikers. An unintended tailgate opening while driving could result in cargo loss and increased crash risk.
