Most recalls let you keep driving until the repair. Some do not. Since the 2012 model year, 53 US recalls on our list of popular models told owners not to drive the car at all until it was fixed, and 53 more said to park it outside, away from buildings, because it could catch fire.

Park-outside recalls, newest first

How to read this

Each count is distinct US recall campaigns that NHTSA flags "park it" (do not drive) or "park outside", for the 177 popular models on our model list, model years 2012 on, read on 13 Nov 2026 and refreshed weekly. A brand with more models on our list, or bigger sales, will tend to count more. A do-not-drive recall means the risk was found and a free fix offered.
