Hazard
2 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 2 pedestrian warning 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 warning 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.
BMW is recalling 2024 i5 electric vehicles where the external pedestrian warning sound generator may fail during startup. This could leave pedestrians unaware of approaching vehicles, increasing injury risk.
General Motors is recalling certain 2023 Cadillac Lyriq vehicles due to a software defect in the body control module. The pedestrian warning sounds may fail to activate, creating a crash risk.
