• Check a vehicle by its VIN at NHTSA: the recalls still open on it are listed there.

NHTSA counts 148 vehicles potentially involved, across everything this recall names.

Each model year opens its own page: every recall naming it, its owner complaints and its crash ratings.

• Made by Lightning eMotors Inc..

• NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
• Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
• How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
