Hazard
3 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 3 pedestrian alert 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 pedestrian alert 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.
General Motors is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles because the pedestrian alert sound system may not change volume enough between standstill and low speed, failing FMVSS 141.
Mercedes-Benz is recalling certain 2022–2025 S-Class, EQE, EQE SUV, EQS, and EQS SUV vehicles because the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) software may produce an incorrect warning sound while reversing, potentially failing to alert pedestrians.
Chrysler is recalling 2023-2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale and Dodge Hornet plug-in hybrid vehicles because the pedestrian alert siren may be missing or disconnected. When non-functional, the siren cannot warn pedestrians of the vehicle backing up, increasing injury risk.
