Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Open investigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The defect: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS BUILT WITH CODE 16XWD (SUNSHADE OPTION CODE). SOME WIRES IN THE SUNSHADE WIRE HARNESS HAD INSULATION THAT DID NOT MEET TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATIONS. SOME HARNESSES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO HAVE ENOUGH MELTED INSULATION TO CREATE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT.
The risk: IF THE WIRE INSULATION IS MELTED ENOUGH TO CREATE A SHORT, THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE EXISTS. THIS SHORT CAN ALSO OPEN THE CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS ALL THE MARKER AND TAIL LIGHTS. IF THE TAIL AND MARKER LIGHTS GO OUT, THE VEHICLE COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
The remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SUNSHADE WIRE HARNESS.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
