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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 909 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, 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 power train 4 times before this, most recently in December 2019 as 19V923000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 42 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V055000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 25V660000 (steering), 25V449000 (service brakes, air), 25V209000 (service brakes, air).
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 March 23, 2023 as campaign 23V196000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
