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 211 vehicles this is a small campaign: 60% of the 17,390 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 479. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V644000 (exterior lighting), 26V279000 (electrical system), 26V151000 (electrical system), 25V898000 (electronic stability control (esc)).
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 New Flyer of America, Inc. with NHTSA on December 22, 2023 as campaign 23V898000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
