Agency
NHTSA oversees recalls of vehicles, tires, child seats, and motor-vehicle equipment. Each campaign is identified by an NHTSA campaign number.
NHTSA regulates the safety of every motor vehicle sold in the US plus tires, child seats, and motor-vehicle equipment. Recalls are coordinated under a numbering scheme called the NHTSA Campaign Number — a string like 25V123000 where the first two digits are the year, V is for vehicle (T is for tires, C for child seats, E for equipment), and the rest identifies the campaign. Every vehicle in our database can be looked up by VIN to check whether any active campaigns affect it.
NHTSA recalls are unusual in two ways. First, the cause is usually a defined defect or non-compliance with a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard rather than a pathogen or contamination event — so 'severity' tracks the consequence of the defect (does the airbag fail to deploy, does the steering lose assist, does the fuel tank leak) rather than reported illnesses. Second, every NHTSA recall is mandatory for the manufacturer to remedy at no charge to the owner, for as long as the vehicle is on the road. There's no expiration on a NHTSA campaign.
We enrich every recall with the full make / model / year-range affected so you can see at a glance whether your vehicle is in scope. If you're not sure, the VIN lookup decodes your specific vehicle and cross-references the database. The remedy is always free — usually a dealer visit for a part replacement, software update, or inspection.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2021 motorhomes because an improperly secured battery cable may contact the exhaust manifold and pose a fire risk. Owners should contact Thor Motor Coach for a free inspection and repair.
Ford is recalling certain 2021 F-650 and F-750 trucks because heat-protection components were not installed during assembly. Without these shields, the cabin floor and seat attachments may become too hot and cause burns.
Jayco recalls 2019-2021 Entegra Qwest and Jayco Melbourne motorhomes because the front fender liner can chafe the brake hose, causing brake fluid loss and extended stopping distances.
Certain 2017-2021 Freightliner Cascadia tractor trailers are recalled due to chemical corrosion in the brake modulator valve, which can slow brake release and cause brakes to pull to one side during automatic braking, increasing crash risk.
Forest River is recalling certain 2020-2021 Vengeance trailers because the fifth-wheel landing legs are not properly spaced, potentially allowing the fifth wheel to slip and puncture the trailer floor, increasing injury risk.
Volvo is recalling certain 2018–2021 VNL and VNR buses with incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating labels on rear drive axles. Overloading could cause wheel hub failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Forest River is recalling 2020-2021 Rockwood trailers with incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating information on their Federal Placards. This could allow operators to unknowingly overload the vehicle, increasing crash risk.
Forest River is recalling the 2021 Cherokee Wolf Pack toyhauler because the propane line may be routed around sharp edges, which can cause a leak and fire risk. Owners should contact Forest River at 1-260-499-2100 for a free repair.
The 2021 Forest River FR3 recreational vehicle has a wiring harness defect that can cause leveling jacks to deploy while driving, risking loss of vehicle control. Forest River will provide free repairs.
Certain 2020-2021 motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis may develop a brake hose chafed by the fender liner, potentially losing brake fluid. Owners should have dealers inspect and replace brake hoses and modify fender liners at no cost.
Forest River, Coachmen, and Dynamax recreational vehicles have an Operator's Manual that incorrectly describes the automatic parking function, potentially causing drivers to rely on it incorrectly and risking vehicle rollaway or movement.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2020-2021 motorhomes because the adhesive bond in frameless windows may fail, allowing the glass to detach and become a projectile hazard while the vehicle is in motion.
Jayco is recalling certain 2019–2021 Class C motorhomes because the Operator's Manual contains incorrect information about the automatic parking function, which could lead to unintended vehicle movement or rollaway.
Certain 2020-2021 Thor Motor Coach motorhomes may have a wire harness that contacts the frame, potentially damaging fuel pump and brake circuits and increasing crash risk.
Keystone is recalling 2020-2021 Cougar travel trailers because the cooktop may not be properly sealed from the furnace, causing burner flames to invert and increasing fire risk. Dealers will inspect and seal it free of charge.
Forest River is recalling 2020-2021 Surveyor travel trailers because the safety chains are insufficient for the trailer's weight rating and may break if the trailer becomes unhitched, risking complete detachment.
General Motors is recalling certain 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer vehicles with optional sport terrain tires because their certification labels do not show tire size and cold tire pressure information required by federal safety standards.
DTNA is recalling certain 2019-2021 Western Star 4700 and 5700 trucks. An undersized wire in the ground harness may cause a melted connector, leading to engine stall and increasing crash risk.
Forest River is recalling certain 2020–2021 Vibe trailers because the roof vent for the refrigerator may be missing. Without proper ventilation, the refrigerator could overheat and create a fire risk, or carbon monoxide could accumulate inside the trailer.
Volvo Trucks is recalling certain 2020 and 2021 VNL and VNR trucks because steering gear fasteners may not have been properly tightened. Loose fasteners could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing crash risk.
Navistar is recalling 2017-2020 International DuraStar and WorkStar models, plus IC bus vehicles with Cummins B6.7 engines. The electric fuel heater may overheat and catch fire or cause engine stalling.
Daimler Trucks is recalling certain commercial trucks where the mudflap hanger bracket partially covers rear reflective tape, reducing visibility. Owners should contact DTNA or NHTSA for free inspection and repositioning.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling 2020-2021 Freightliner and Western Star commercial trucks with incorrect weight-rating labels. Incorrectly labeled trucks could be overloaded, increasing crash risk.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2020-2021 motorhomes due to insufficient rear axle differential fluid that could cause driveshaft separation and loss of vehicle drive, increasing crash risk.
Ford is recalling 2021 E-350 and E-450 vehicles because a rear wire harness may contact the frame and damage circuits for the fuel pump and anti-lock braking system, potentially causing engine stall or loss of braking control.
