About this figure

A make in this record is the name on the recall filing, not a corporate group. Manufacturers that own several brands appear once per brand, so a group total is not the same as any single row here.

The count is campaigns, not vehicles or faults. One campaign can cover a few hundred vehicles or several million, and a manufacturer that files a recall promptly is doing what the law requires of it.

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.
