Counts are of the vehicle recalls and NHTSA investigations listed on this page, as NHTSA's files record them; each recall counts once, and makes and model years are those the listed recalls name. Counts aren't adjusted for sales, so they don't rank makers or models.

A vehicle that isn't listed here may still be in a recall. To see whether a specific vehicle has an open recall, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

NHTSA investigations

An open investigation is not a finding that a safety defect exists, and NHTSA can close one without a recall.

Audit Queries and Equipment Queries are administrative investigations: they look at whether companies complied with federal vehicle safety requirements, such as reporting, recall and certification rules, not at a possible vehicle defect.

What this page doesn't tell you

  • This list is try.vin's: it lists a recall here only on the evidence shown beside it, and the list can be incomplete.
  • A model year listed here doesn't mean every vehicle of that year is included in a recall. Whether a specific vehicle is included, and whether it has been repaired, can only be checked by its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
  • Each recall's potentially affected figure is the manufacturer's own estimate in NHTSA's record. Recalls can cover the same vehicles again, so this page doesn't add them up.
