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 5,413 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 2014 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 12 times before this, most recently in October 2020 as 20V610000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V149000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 26V147000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 25V840000 (electrical system), 25V190000 (seats).
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 Corp. Micro Bird, Inc. with NHTSA on February 1, 2021 as campaign 21V036000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
