The week in recalls

ShareWhatsAppFacebookXEmail

Two things move in the vehicle safety record every week, and neither is reported anywhere. New recalls appear. And notices that were already published get quietly reworded: the description of the fault, the instruction for the fix, what happens if you ignore it.

This page is the running account of both, rebuilt from the register itself rather than written from press releases.

Since the register was first read in full on 21 August 2026, 62 campaigns have appeared that were not there before, and 100 already-published notices have been reworded.

New to the register

Reworded after publication

A notice being edited is not by itself evidence of anything. Authorities correct typing errors as well as substance. What the record shows is that the wording moved, when it moved, and what it said before.

This page follows the American register. The same week across all seven registers is at this week in the record. This page rebuilds itself. The same record is available as a feed and as a file.

Why this exists

A recall makes the news on the day it is announced. What happens to the notice afterwards is not covered by anyone, because following it requires holding the old wording and comparing it against the new, which means reading the whole register on a schedule and keeping a fingerprint of every notice at every reading. That is what this site does, and it is the only reason this page can be written.
