Automobile recalls are released as necessary, either by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NTHSA) or by the manufacturer when a complaint of a product defect is made. After years of recalls, there have been several common reasons a vehicle make or model will be recalled for safety hazards.

Some of the most common reasons for a defective product recall include:

  • Faulty safety features (especially airbags);
  • Electrical hazards;
  • Fuel line issues;
  • Faulty accelerators;
  • Unsecured floor mats;
  • Defective tires; and
  • Fire hazards due to wiring or fuel tank issues.

There are numerous other reasons a vehicle may be recalled when a defect is detected, either in the design or manufacturing. Unfortunately, many of these defects are not noticed until it impacts the lives of several drivers who have suffered serious or fatal injuries due to accidents.

If you or someone you love have suffered injury due to a faulty vehicle in which a defect is likely the cause, you may need legal help in filing a product liability claim against the automobile manufacturer. A defective automobile attorney may be able to help you file your claim to seek any compensation you may be entitled to.
