Methodology

How we count

Every figure on this site traces back to a public NHTSA file. The one exception is the Recall outlook, whose recall likelihoods and cost ranges are labelled estimates with their method shown.

Read the full methodology
Source

The Office of Defects Investigation recalls flat files, read alongside the complaints, investigations and manufacturer communications files.

Refresh

Pulled on the 1st of each month. A campaign is dated by the day the manufacturer's Part 573 report was received, not the day it was posted.

Counting

A campaign is one NHTSA recall number, counted once however many models it covers. Vehicles affected is the manufacturer's estimate, taken once per campaign.
