OPEN DATA PROJECT

Automotive Recall Intelligence

Aggregating and analyzing NHTSA recall data to surface patterns in software vs. hardware failures, OEM trends, and component-level root causes.


This project exists to bring transparency to automotive recall patterns - not to point fingers. By aggregating publicly available data, we aim to help founders, engineers, and analysts understand where root causes lie and what improvements could dramatically drive down recall rates and make roads safer.
Disclaimer: This is an independent, community-driven aggregation of publicly available NHTSA recall data. While we strive for accuracy, this data is provided as-is and is not guaranteed to be complete or error-free. Recall classifications (software, hardware, mixed) are determined algorithmically and may not reflect official categorizations. If you spot an error or have feedback, contact us at hello@autobreakout.com.
