Urgent advisories in 2026

15 of the 2026 recalls tell owners to stop driving the vehicle. 19 warn of a fire risk while parked.

Have they been repaired?

Manufacturers report progress quarterly on 319 of the 2026 campaigns. Across those, 46.5% of the 13,635,718 vehicles involved have been repaired, leaving 7,067,029 outstanding.

The remaining 2026 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

2026 here is the year the recall was filed with NHTSA, not the model year of the vehicles. A 2026 filing routinely covers vehicles built years earlier, and a car of model year 2026 appears in filings for years afterwards.

“Vehicles covered” sums the manufacturer’s own estimate for each campaign. A vehicle recalled twice in 2026 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.
