Official records first
Every published report starts with an official NHTSA recall record. Campaign identifiers, vehicles, dates, affected-unit counts, consequences, remedies, and source links are inserted from the record—not invented by the writer.
About the newsroom
Safety information should feel usable.
RecallWire translates official automotive safety records into clear owner guidance. It is independent and is not affiliated with NHTSA or any vehicle manufacturer.
AI drafts, people publish
AI may explain the supplied record in plain language. It cannot approve an article, add unsupported facts, or merge the pull request. A person checks the official links and changes the article from draft to reviewed before publication.
Visible corrections
Material changes receive an updated date and a clear correction note. RecallWire does not silently rewrite a safety fact or make an old article appear newly reported.
Source policy
What counts as evidence
Recall records: publishable after review because they are official campaign records.
Investigations: reported as developing matters, never described as a recall unless NHTSA identifies a campaign.
Consumer complaints: possible leads only. A complaint is not proof of a defect and is not presented as a verified incident count without stronger official support.
