How does this week compare?

Recalls on 2021 and newer passenger vehicles reported to NHTSA, this week and the four weeks before it, with the 2025 weekly average so far.

This week had 16 recalls, 8.5 more than the 2025 weekly average of 7.5.

Are owners saying these recalls fixed the problem?

For each recall this week, the number of NHTSA owner complaints about the same part on the same vehicles filed since the recall date, and how many describe the problem happening more than once or coming back after a repair attempt. Complaints are unverified owner reports; automated text matching can miss or misread some.

What other recalls do these vehicles have?

Earlier recalls on the same models as this week’s recalls. Owners with more than one recall on the same vehicle should keep every repair order.

What should I do if my car is on this list?

1. Confirm with your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Schedule the free recall repair at an authorized dealer and ask whether parts are available.
3. Keep the repair order from every visit.
4. If the problem comes back after the repair, talk to a lemon law attorney.

Can a recall or defect investigation make my car a lemon in California?

Not by itself. What matters is whether a covered defect keeps coming back or keeps your vehicle at the dealer, and a federal investigation or recall is strong evidence that the problem is real.

Under California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, a manufacturer that cannot fix a warranty defect that substantially impairs a vehicle’s use, value or safety within a reasonable number of attempts may have to repurchase or replace it (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)). Within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, the law presumes a reasonable number of attempts after two repairs of a defect likely to cause death or serious injury, four repairs of the same defect, or more than 30 days out of service (Civ. Code 1793.22(b)).

An owner who prevails can recover reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer (Civ. Code 1794(d)). You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements. If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.
