Hazard
3 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 3 unexpected engine start 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 unexpected engine start 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.

Navistar is recalling 2020 IC CE school buses because an electrical overload in the Body Control Module may cause the engine to start unexpectedly, increasing injury risk during service.
New Flyer is recalling certain 2012-2013 transit buses because a weak spring in the push-to-start switch may allow the engine to start unexpectedly, posing an injury risk to nearby workers.
