Urgent advisories in 2025

19 of the 2025 recalls tell owners to stop driving the vehicle. 18 warn of a fire risk while parked.

Have they been repaired?

Manufacturers report progress quarterly on 938 of the 2025 campaigns. Across those, 56.6% of the 26,885,415 vehicles involved have been repaired, leaving 10,956,902 outstanding.

The remaining 2025 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

2025 here is the year the recall was filed with NHTSA, not the model year of the vehicles. A 2025 filing routinely covers vehicles built years earlier, and a car of model year 2025 appears in filings for years afterwards.

“Vehicles covered” sums the manufacturer’s own estimate for each campaign. A vehicle recalled twice in 2025 is counted twice, so the figure is not a count of distinct vehicles.

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.
