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.
Volkswagen is recalling certain 2021 Atlas and 2020-2021 Atlas Cross Sport vehicles with potentially over-cured Continental Cross Contact LX Sport tires. Over-cured tires can cause sidewall breaks or tread separation, increasing crash risk.
Certain 2021 Winnebago motorhomes are being recalled because the power bed motor may fail internally, causing the bed to extend before the safety strap engages. This can result in the bed falling unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury or death.
Certain 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime vehicles have improperly closed headlight aiming caps that can be adjusted horizontally. This can increase glare and reduce driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW and Toyota are recalling certain 2020-2021 Z4 and Supra vehicles due to insufficient fuel tank welds that may cause fuel leaks and increase fire risk. Owners should contact their dealer for a free replacement.
