Data refreshed from NHTSA and FuelEconomy.gov

Recently issued recalls

The newest campaigns filed with NHTSA

All recalls

Recalls apply to specific vehicles, not to every vehicle of a model year. Check your VIN with NHTSA or your manufacturer's dealer to confirm whether a recall affects your vehicle.

Rising complaint activity

Vehicles whose recent reports are high relative to their own history

See more

Ranked by recent reports as a share of each vehicle’s own total, so a high-volume model does not simply dominate the list. Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Where the data comes from

Official primary sources

Every record is imported from NHTSA's own published datasets and the EPA/DOE fuel-economy data. Nothing is scraped from other sites, and nothing is invented.

History we keep ourselves

Government sources publish only the current totals. We snapshot the aggregates every day, which is what makes the trends and rising-activity views possible at all.

Check a specific vehicle

Recalls apply to individual VINs, not to every vehicle of a model year. Decode a VIN and confirm open recalls against the official lookup.
