Years on file

Proterra Operating Company, Inc. has filed 5 recall campaigns with NHTSA between November 7, 2022 and October 17, 2023, covering up to 1,179 vehicles in total. The system it has been back to most is electrical system, named in 3 of them (60%). The busiest year was 2022, with 3 campaigns.

A vehicle covered by two campaigns is counted in both, so the total above is a sum of campaign populations and not a count of distinct vehicles. Campaigns where the manufacturer had not yet reported a population contribute nothing to it.

Check your own vehicle

A recall covers a production range, not every vehicle of the model. Your own VIN is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it shows every open recall on it rather than one campaign at a time.

Recall data from NHTSA's campaign API , most recent campaign filed September 14, 2026. Campaigns are listed here where NHTSA's record carries the defect, the consequence and the remedy; a handful of older or withdrawn campaigns carry only a number and are left on the vehicle pages that aggregate them.
