Hazard
3 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 3 steering instability recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 1 (33%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all steering instability 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.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2023 GTI and Golf R vehicles due to deformed suspension strut mounts that may loosen and cause steering instability. Dealers will replace affected components at no cost.
Navistar is recalling 2023 IC Bus EV, CE, and RE models due to improperly heat-treated fasteners in suspension and steering joints. These fasteners may lose tension and cause steering instability, increasing crash risk.
General Motors is recalling 2021-2022 Chevrolet 4500HD/5500HD/6500HD and XD models due to improperly heat-treated hex flange lock nuts in suspension and steering joints. The defective nuts may break, causing steering instability and increasing crash risk.
