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 225 vehicles this is a small campaign: 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 56 complaints with NHTSA, 6 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 25V559000 (lane departure), 24V933000 (air bags), 23V355000 (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 VinFast Auto, LLC with NHTSA on May 24, 2024 as campaign 24V369000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
