This report builds on the foundation established by three earlier congressional reports required under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), enacted in 2015. Section 24104 mandated biennial analyses of vehicle safety recall completion rates, culminating in the submission of the final required report in compliance with this directive in 2020. These reports incorporated the recommendations of the 2018 DOT Office of Inspector General to adopt a risk-based process for monitoring recall performance and collaborating with manufacturers to address underperforming recalls. NHTSA routinely updates the predictive model to enhance its tool identifying trends and risk factors. Through this approach, NHTSA aims to strengthen accountability and ultimately reduce the number of defective or noncompliant vehicles on the road, aligning with NHTSA’s mission to protect the public on our Nation’s roadways. This report updates the recall completion rates up to 2022.
