Hazard
6 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 6 reduced braking performance recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 3 (50%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all reduced braking performance 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.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2025 Freightliner, Western Star, and related models due to undersized air tanks that reduce braking performance and increase crash risk.
Hyundai is recalling certain 2025 IONIQ 5 "N" vehicles with left-foot braking because a software defect in the electronic brake and vehicle control systems may reduce braking performance, increasing crash risk.
Prestone is recalling specific 1-gallon bottles of DOT 3 Brake Fluid that may contain power steering fluid. Using the wrong fluid can reduce braking performance and increase crash risk.

General Motors is recalling 2017 Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia vehicles because front brake caliper seals may leak fluid, reducing braking performance.
