Hazard
2 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 2 taillight 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 taillight 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.
Kia is recalling certain 2024-2025 Sorento vehicles because a Body Domain Control Unit software error may cause a loss of low beam headlights and taillights.
Tesla is recalling certain 2023 Model 3 and 2020-2023 Model Y vehicles because taillights may intermittently fail to illuminate. A failed taillight reduces vehicle visibility and increases crash risk; Tesla is providing a free over-the-air software update.
