About SafeCarInfo
Your Trusted Source for Vehicle Safety Information
Our Mission
SafeCarInfo is dedicated to providing consumers with comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date information about vehicle recalls issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Our mission is to help vehicle owners stay informed about potential safety issues affecting their cars, trucks, and SUVs.
We believe that safety shouldn't be a mystery. That's why we've built SafeCarInfo to be simple, fast, and free. By aggregating and organizing NHTSA recall data, we make it easier for consumers to research vehicle safety before purchasing a car or to check if their current vehicle has any outstanding recalls.

Our Data Sources
All recall information displayed on SafeCarInfo is sourced directly from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the U.S. government agency responsible for keeping people safe on America's roadways.
NHTSA is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation and is responsible for reducing deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. Their data is considered the authoritative source for vehicle safety information in the United States.
Why Vehicle Recalls Matter
Vehicle recalls are issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. Common reasons for recalls include:
- Faulty airbag systems
- Brake system defects
- Steering problems
- Fuel system issues
- Electrical system failures
- Software and computer system bugs
Important: Recall repairs are always free of charge when performed by an authorized dealer. If you own a vehicle with an open recall, we strongly encourage you to contact your local dealer to schedule the necessary repairs.
