Have they been repaired?

Manufacturers report progress quarterly on 1 of the 2010 campaigns. Across those, 18.3% of the 22,850 vehicles involved have been repaired, leaving 18,666 outstanding.

The remaining 2010 campaigns are not in the quarterly file at all, so this is a rate across those that report, not across everything filed that year. See repair completion in full.

About this figure

2010 here is the year the recall was filed with NHTSA, not the model year of the vehicles. A 2010 filing routinely covers vehicles built years earlier, and a car of model year 2010 appears in filings for years afterwards.

“Vehicles covered” sums the manufacturer’s own estimate for each campaign. A vehicle recalled twice in 2010 is counted twice, so the figure is not a count of distinct vehicles.

Do Not Drive and Park Outside flags entered NHTSA’s public record in May 2025. This page shows no advisory section for 2010 because the flag did not exist then \u2014 not because no 2010 recall was urgent.

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.
