Hazard
5 recalls in our database tag this hazard, drawn from FDA, USDA FSIS, CPSC, and NHTSA source notices.
Of the 5 vehicle fire recalls we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 3 (60%) are Severe.
Hazard tags are short, machine-readable labels we attach to every recall to make cross-cutting queries possible — “all vehicle fire 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.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2020–2025 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe and 2022–2026 Grand Cherokee 4Xe vehicles because the high voltage battery may fail internally and cause a vehicle fire while parked or driving.
Ford is recalling certain 2024 Maverick vehicles because the fuel tanks may have an open pinch joint that allows fuel to leak. In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak increases the risk of vehicle fire.
