The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 14,229 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2006 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 16 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Micro Bird vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 14 times before this, most recently in February 2021 as 21V039000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 20 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 April 28, 2022 as campaign 22V287000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
