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.

In-Depth Recall Coverage

For selected high-impact campaigns in NHTSA's 1966–2026 dataset, Easy Lemon attorneys write a full breakdown in plain English: what the defect is, which VIN range is affected, what your rights are as an owner, and when a recall repair that doesn't fix the problem can support a Lemon Law claim.

Fire & Fuel System Recalls

A fuel leak or a failing fuel pump can lead to a fire or a stall at speed, so these campaigns are worth checking first. 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

Our airbag coverage documents the Honda Odyssey side airbag recall, where side airbags can deploy unexpectedly, and the Hyundai Palisade third-row airbag recall, a defect in the third-row side curtain airbag.

Engine & Powertrain Recalls

This group covers engine bearing failures, a radiator fan fire risk, and two hybrid-system faults. 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

Before driving a vehicle in one of these campaigns, check the recall details for an NHTSA severity flag such as Do Not Drive. 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 2026 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.
