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 2,143 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Autocar vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 10 times before this, most recently in December 2021 as 21V966000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 31 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 23V699000 (parking brake), 23V656000 (steering), 23V400000 (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 June 17, 2022 as campaign 22V437000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
