Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 5,613 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 75% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2013 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 6 times before this, most recently in March 2018 as 18V165000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 21 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 23V699000 (parking brake), 23V400000 (electrical system), 23V193000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Autocar, LLC with NHTSA on January 15, 2020 as campaign 20V013000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
