Hazard
55 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 55 sensor malfunction recalls we have scored against our rubric, 1 (2%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 11 (20%) are Severe.
Which agencies issued them
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all sensor malfunction 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.
Boston Scientific is recalling ALTRUA 2 EL DR Pacemakers because the Minute Ventilation sensor may intermittently over-sense signals.
Siemens is recalling 194 PRIMUS radiation therapy systems due to incorrect collimator position displays and improper weld seams at the overhead suspension.
Newmar is recalling 2017 King Aire motorhomes because the collision mitigation radar may be mounted upside down, potentially decreasing performance and increasing crash risk.
PACCAR is recalling 2015 Peterbilt 389 trucks because an incorrect horn contact plate may damage the ESC steering angle sensor, increasing crash risk.
Sentec AG is recalling SenTec V-Sign Membrane Changer Inserts due to a manufacturing defect that prevents electrolyte presence, potentially degrading PCO2 sensor performance.
