Frequently asked questions
What does the manufacturer directory cover? ▾
Every vehicle manufacturer NHTSA has on file — heavy-duty truck OEMs (Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, Volvo, Mack, International, Western Star), medium-duty makers, trailer builders, body manufacturers, and any other entity that has filed even one recall, investigation, or manufacturer communication. Manufacturers with zero NHTSA activity are excluded from the default view to remove noise.
How are recall, investigation, and communication counts computed? ▾
Counts are direct row tallies from NHTSA's public Recall, ODI Investigation, and Manufacturer Communication tables, joined to the Manufacturer entity by NHTSA's manufacturer_id. We refresh the underlying tables daily and recompute counts on the same cadence. Counts include closed and historical records — they're cumulative, not point-in-time active.
Why might a manufacturer appear under multiple names? ▾
NHTSA tracks corporate succession through the known_aliases field — a manufacturer's prior names, divisional brands, and merged-entity records all collapse to the same manufacturer_id. The directory shows the current canonical name; the detail page surfaces the alias list for verification.
How current is this data? ▾
NHTSA recall, investigation, and manufacturer-communication tables are mirrored on a daily cadence. Counts on this page are at most 24 hours behind NHTSA's public data feeds. For real-time confirmation immediately before a transaction, click through to nhtsa.gov.
Can I look up a specific truck instead of a manufacturer? ▾
Yes. If you have a VIN, paste it into the search at the top of TruckCodex — the VIN lookup returns make, model, year, every recall that touches the VIN's family, and any roadside-inspection or registration history on file. Manufacturer pages are best for fleet-level safety auditing; VIN lookup is best for single-truck verification.
