Hazard
2 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 2 engine compartment fire recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 2 (100%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all engine compartment fire 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.
Kia is recalling 2017–2022 Niro and Niro Plug-in Hybrid vehicles because fluid may leak into the hydraulic clutch actuator, causing an engine compartment fire.
Ford is recalling 2013 Escape vehicles with 1.6L engines because a cylinder head plug may dislodge, causing coolant leaks that can ignite and start a fire.
