Hazard
2 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 2 steering lockup 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 (50%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all steering lockup 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 2023-2024 BrightDrop Zevo 600 and 2024 Zevo 400 vehicles because a damaged steering shaft may cause the steering to lock up, increasing crash risk.
Icon Vehicle Dynamics is recalling Ford F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks sold with its centerline stabilizer kit. The foam ring in the shock assembly may block piston ports, causing steering to lock up and increasing crash risk.
