Shortlist up to four to read them side by side.

157 recalls naming only model years before 2015 that NHTSA received in 1981, newest first; 16,483 in all since 1966.

Model years before 2015 have no pages of their own here: each recall names the ones it covers, and search finds them by make, model and year. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle. Copied Nov 5, 2026.

Side by side

The same published facts for each, in the same order, in their sources’ words.

Every line is what NHTSA’s files say. They aren’t ranked against each other, and a thing no recall names isn’t safe by that: a file says only what it holds.

The honest record on the places and things your family relies on.

Hearth Record is independent. It is not a government agency and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by CMS, SAMHSA, HRSA, CPSC, NHTSA, FDA, USDA or any state agency. Each fact links to the agency’s own record.

Every record here is read from the public record and refreshed when its source publishes.

How to read a record

Four things every record does, shown on an example record made up for this guide.

1 of 4

Every fact names its source.

Who published it, when, and how often it changes sit beside each fact, with a link to the agency’s own file.

2 of 4

A number never stands alone.

Each figure comes with the baseline its source gives, such as the state average or the middle of its neighbours, and the date it describes.

3 of 4

What needs attention is marked.

One color marks what an agency flagged or found most serious. Nothing is colored to look safe: a public record can’t certify safety.

4 of 4

The public record comes first.

Anything a provider adds will sit below the record and say who wrote it. Paying never changes a finding, a rating or the order of results.
