Editorial Policy

Our Commitment

Verify the Vehicle is committed to providing accurate, transparent, and useful vehicle safety information. We source all data from official government databases and never fabricate or estimate information we do not have.

Data Sourcing

All vehicle data on Verify the Vehicle comes from official US government sources:

• NHTSA — Recalls, complaints, investigations, safety ratings, vehicle specifications
• EPA — Fuel economy, emissions, fuel costs

We refresh data from these sources regularly. The last verification date is shown on every vehicle page.

Data Accuracy

While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that government data is complete or error-free. We display data as-is from official sources and clearly indicate when data is missing or unavailable.

Our recall severity classifications and plain-language translations are our own work, derived transparently from official government data. We deliberately publish no composite “risk score.” Our full approach is on the Methodology page.

Content Creation

Our editorial content (articles, guides, explainers) is created by our editorial team with automotive safety expertise. All content:

• Is reviewed for accuracy before publication
• Cites official sources for all factual claims
• Includes last-updated dates
• Is updated when new information becomes available

What We Do Not Do

• We do not provide vehicle history reports (accidents, ownership, title)
• We do not sell or license user data
• We do not accept paid placements for vehicle rankings
• We do not fabricate data or statistics
• We do not use affiliate links that compromise editorial independence

Corrections
