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.

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