Vehicle recalls in the United States are issued when a vehicle, vehicle component, tire or child restraint system may contain a safety defect or fail to meet federal safety standards. Recalls can involve brakes, airbags, steering systems, batteries, software, fuel systems, seatbelts, tires and many other vehicle components.
