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 650 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
ATC vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 8 times before this, most recently in August 2024 as 24V639000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V140000 (equipment), 23V590000 (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 Aluminum Trailer Company (ATC) with NHTSA on August 21, 2025 as campaign 25V535000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
