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 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% 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 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V749000 (fuel system, other).
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 The Heil Co. with NHTSA on August 4, 2025 as campaign 25V500000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
