About this figure

Both advisory flags were added to NHTSA’s public recall record in May 2025. Earlier recalls that would have warranted one do not carry the flag, so these counts describe the record rather than the history of the advisories themselves.

A recall without an advisory is still a safety defect the manufacturer has formally admitted to, and the repair is still free.

Compiled from NHTSA’s published recall files, which are US government open data and rebuilt daily. Figures on this page reflect the record as of 18 September 2026. Read the methodology, or check a specific vehicle at nhtsa.gov.
