Search Every NHTSA Vehicle Recall, 1966 to 2025
A complete mirror of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall dataset, refreshed nightly. Search by manufacturer, year, component, or defect type. Free for the public, journalists, and researchers.
Quick answer: A vehicle recall by itself does not automatically qualify you for Lemon Law. What qualifies you is when the recall repair fails to fix the defect after reasonable attempts, or when the manufacturer cannot complete the repair within a reasonable time. Federal Magnuson-Moss and state Lemon Laws allow buybacks, replacements, or cash compensation when a defect substantially impairs a vehicle's safety, value, or use. Our team represents consumers in 49 states (all states except California).

Easy Lemon attorneys publish full editorial breakdowns for the highest-impact campaigns in NHTSA's 1966–2025 dataset. Each article explains the defect, the affected VIN range, your owner rights, and how Lemon Law remedies apply in plain English.
Fire & Fuel System Recalls
Fuel-system defects are among the most dangerous active campaigns. Read our coverage of the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 fuel pump recall, the Chevrolet Tahoe fuel tank recall, the Ford Bronco fuel pump recall, the Genesis GV70 fuel leak recall, the Kia Carnival fuel leak recall, and the Nissan NV200 fuel tank sensor recall.
Airbag & Restraint Recalls
Defective airbag deployment can turn a survivable crash into a fatality. Our editorial team has documented the Honda Odyssey side airbag recall and the Hyundai Palisade third-row airbag recall — both NHTSA-classified urgent safety defects.
Engine & Powertrain Recalls
Engine failures account for the largest replacement-cost remedies. See the Nissan Rogue VC-Turbo engine recall, the Toyota Tundra V35A engine recall, the Ram ProMaster radiator fan recall, the Toyota Camry Hybrid inverter recall, and the Honda Accord Hybrid control module recall.
Brake, Steering & Electrical Recalls
Brake and electrical defects often trigger Do-Not-Drive orders. Read the Ford F-150 trailer brake recall (4.4M trucks), the Acura TLX brake pedal recall, the Toyota RAV4 instrument panel recall, the Hyundai Santa Fe starter terminal recall, the BMW 330i starter relay recall, the Jeep Wagoneer S junction box recall, and the Tesla Cybertruck parking light recall.
Methodology and Data Source
All recall records on this page are mirrored from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation public dataset (NHTSA ODI Recall Dataset, identifier 6axg-epim on data.gov). The mirror covers all campaigns from 1966 through 2025 and is refreshed nightly. Counts of "potentially affected vehicles" are NHTSA's own estimates at the time the campaign was issued and may overstate or understate the eventual remedy population. Recall numbers prefixed "V" indicate vehicles, "E" indicates equipment, "T" indicates tires, and "C" indicates child seats. Severity flags (Do Not Drive, Fire Risk When Parked) follow NHTSA's classification.
