Campaigns by year issued

Counts are of campaigns received by NHTSA in each calendar year. They are not normalised by how many vehicles were on the road, so a taller bar does not by itself mean the system became less reliable.

Method & limitations

Campaigns are grouped by the first segment of NHTSA's component path and mapped to this system through a published alias table. Counts reflect campaigns in the VerifyTheVehicle index, which covers a subset of all US vehicles, and are not defect rates — we hold no registration or sales denominator that would make a rate honest.
