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.
PJ Trailers is recalling 2020-2021 DE model trailers. The attachment bolts securing the hydraulic cylinder may fail when the dump box is operated, creating a risk that the box could suddenly drop and injure a person.
Kia is recalling certain 2018-2021 Stinger vehicles due to risk of engine compartment fire in the antilock brake control unit. Owners should park outside and away from structures until the fuse kit replacement is completed.
BMW is recalling 2021 X7 models for tire information labels with incorrect specifications. The labels may not match the actually installed tires, potentially causing drivers to select wrong tires.
Certain 2020 Audi SQ5 and Q5 vehicles and 2020-2021 Volkswagen models have improperly welded front seat frames. In a rear-end crash, the defective welds could fail and reduce occupant restraint, increasing the risk of injury.
PACCAR is recalling approximately 1,097 certain 2020-2021 Kenworth and Peterbilt heavy trucks with Watson and Chalin steerable lift axle suspension systems. The pivot bolts may be too short to properly engage the locking nuts, risking separation from the suspension and potential vehicle crashes.
Volkswagen is recalling 2020 and 2021 Atlas vehicles due to driver's side headlights that may have been aimed too low during production. This misalignment fails to meet federal safety standards and reduces driver visibility.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2019-2021 Windsport and Hurricane motorhomes due to a circuit board defect that could cause fire. The electrical control center may be damaged by voltages over 17 volts.
BMW is recalling 2021 R 1250 motorcycles (R, RT, RS, GS models) because tire pressure labels may detach from the frame. Without proper tire pressure information readily available, riders risk improper tire inflation, affecting handling and control.
Keystone is recalling certain 2021 Outback travel trailers because the Federal Identification Tag incorrectly states tire pressure should be 65 PSI instead of the correct 80 PSI. Underinflated tires could fail and increase crash risk.
BMW is recalling hybrid X3, 330e, X5, and 2020 MINI Countryman SE models with loose battery welds that may cause short-circuits and fire. All vehicles have already been remedied.
Heartland Recreational Vehicles is recalling 2021 Mallard travel trailers because the liquid propane hose and connector may contact the suspension shackle, increasing the risk of fire.
Forest River is recalling certain 2019–2021 Salem and Wildwood motorhomes because the fresh water tank may not be properly secured to the frame. A detached tank could increase crash risk.
BMW is recalling 2021 X5 and X6 models equipped with certain Pirelli tires. The tires may have damaged inner layers that can cause rapid pressure loss while driving, affecting vehicle control.
Forest River is recalling certain 2020-2021 motorhomes with swivel seats due to incorrectly routed wiring harnesses that could damage the side air bag system, risking inadvertent or failed deployment in a crash.
Winnebago is recalling certain 2021 Revel motorhomes. The auxiliary alternator belt may wear and detach, which could cause loss of power steering control and increase the risk of crashes.
Jayco is recalling 2020-2021 Entegra Qwest motorhomes and related Jayco models because front seat wiring harnesses may be routed incorrectly, creating a risk of unexpected or failed airbag deployment.
Daimler Trucks North America is recalling certain 2017-2021 Freightliner Business Class M2 trucks because the engine harness may contact and chafe, potentially short-circuiting and causing engine stall during operation.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling 2020-2021 Daybreak, 2018-2021 Four Winds, and 2018-2021 Chateau motorhomes because barrel chair pedestals are secured with bolts of the wrong size. In a crash, these pedestals could separate, causing seat belt anchorages to fail and increasing injury risk.
Certain 2018-2021 Autocar Xpeditor right-hand drive trucks may have improperly assembled parking brake plumbing, causing the brake to apply unexpectedly and increasing crash risk.
Certain 2020-2021 Thor motorhomes with swivel seats have wiring harnesses that may be routed incorrectly, potentially causing side airbags to deploy inadvertently or fail during crashes. Owners should contact Thor or Mercedes-Benz for free inspection and repair.
Honda is recalling 2018-2020 Odyssey, 2019-2020 Passport, and 2019-2021 Pilot vehicles with software causing the instrument panel to fail to display critical information (engine oil pressure, speedometer, gear position) and preventing the rearview camera image from displaying.
Honda is recalling certain 2019-2021 Pilot vehicles due to faulty software that may prevent the rearview camera from displaying properly. This increases the risk of crashes since drivers cannot see behind the vehicle.
Keystone Fuzion and Impact toy hauler travel trailers may have incorrectly wired generator transfer switches that could energize the shore power connection, creating an electrical shock hazard. Keystone will inspect and correct the wiring at no charge.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2020-2021 Sequence and Tellaro motorhomes because the dinette booth seat belt tethers are too short, preventing safe use by some occupants and increasing crash injury risk.
Thor Motor Coach is recalling certain 2019-2021 Freedom Elite and 2021 Four Winds motorhomes due to an incorrect converter breaker installation that can cause wiring to overheat and increase fire risk.
