What Are Some Common Car Defects that Require Recall?

The NHTSA (National Highway Transportation Safety Administration) keeps close records of safety recall issues.  A few common defects that may lead to a recall include: 

  • Air bag deployment defects
  • Vehicle steering parts that break or malfuction causing a possible loss of control
  • Accelerator pedals or mechanisms that freeze suddenly
  • Wiring flaws and fuel leaks that could potentially cause fire
  • Faulty or defective tires
  • Failure of cars to meet emissions standards

What Are Some Recent Recalls?
There have been several high-profile recalls in recent years.  These include: 

  • Ford Explorer:
    • Many Ford Explorers were equipped with defective Firestone and Bridgestone tires, which resulted in hundreds of accidents and deaths.  Ford and Firestone have now recalled thousands of Explorers.
    • Ford Explorers may also rollover due to design flaws.  Class action law suits have failed, although individuals may still successfully sue Ford.
      • BMW has recalled close to 60,000 X5 SUVs due to brake pedal defects
      • BMW recently recalled 40,000 Minis worldwide
      • Daimer-Chrysler recently recalled close to 200,000 Jeeps in Europe
