Hazard
3 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 3 transmission leak recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 2 (67%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all transmission leak 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.
BMW is recalling certain 2022 330i, 530i, X3, and X4 vehicles because the transmission mechatronics unit may not have been properly assembled, potentially causing an internal leak that could lead to vehicle rollaway and crash risk.
General Motors is recalling specific 2018-2020 vehicles because missing bolts on the start/stop accumulator may cause transmission leaks, loss of propulsion, or fire.
Chrysler is recalling 2019-2020 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups because transmission fluid leaks may contact ignition sources, increasing the risk of a fire.
