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 80 vehicles this is a small campaign: 72% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
International vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 12 times before this, most recently in November 2008 as 08V619000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 24V818000 (electrical system), 23V370000 (service brakes, air), 23V170000 (structure), 22V691000 (engine).
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.
