2008 Annual Summary of 

Emission-Related Recall and Voluntary 

Service Campaigns Performed on LightDuty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks
INTRODUCTION

 Federal regulations require motor vehicle manufacturers to report to EPA all recalls that 

affect emission-related components or systems. The following report briefly describes lightduty vehicle recalls reported to EPA that affect emission-related components or systems. 

Note that some of the recalls listed in this report fix problems that do not impact emission 

control performance even though they involve the repair or replacement of emission-related 

parts. Manufacturers voluntarily recall vehicles for various reasons, such as safety or 

customer satisfaction, but if they affect emission-related parts, they still must be reported to 

EPA. They are all considered “emission-related” for the purposes of this report.

 This report is divided into two sections. The first section is titled, “Emission-Related 

Recalls”. These are the typical recalls where the manufacturer recommends that the owner 

bring the car in for repair under the recall. In this case, the owner should not wait until the 

problem is apparent before getting the vehicle fixed. The second section titled, “EmissionRelated Voluntary Service Campaigns”. Under EPA rules, these are still considered recalls, 

but are listed separately because the manufacturer is telling the owner to bring the car in for 

repair only if the problem is apparent (such as a warning light, noise, drive problem, etc.). 

There is usually a warranty extension associated with these types of recalls. Note that the 

manufacturer might not call a voluntary service campaign a “recall” in the owner or dealer 

notifications.

 Recalls can be initiated voluntarily by the manufacturer or can be ordered by EPA. 

Voluntary recalls could also be directly influenced by EPA. Influenced recalls are those 

where EPA has had a direct role in convincing the manufacturer to voluntarily recall the 

vehicles. Because EPA is fairly successful at influencing recalls, ordered recalls are 

extremely rare. This report indicates these categories in the “Type” column. A “V” 

designation is a voluntary recall without direct EPA influence, an “I” designation is a 

voluntary recall that was directly influenced by EPA, a “VSC” designation is a voluntary 

service campaign not directly influenced by EPA, and an “I-VSC” designation is a voluntary 

service campaign directly influenced by EPA. If there is an ordered recall, the type will be 

designated with an “O”.

 It should also be noted that recalls may not include all of the vehicles in the described 

year, model, and engine family. Some recalls are specific to subsets of these categories 

because the problem or defect only affects part of a production run. The specific vehicles 

subject to a recall are identified by the manufacturer in the technical service bulletins 

provided to the repair facilities. These are usually listings based on the Vehicle 

Identification Number, or VIN, that is stamped on each vehicle. You should direct any 

questions regarding your vehicle’s inclusion in a recall to the dealer repair facility. If there 

are still issues or problems, direct these to EPA at the e-mail address: vehicle-recalls@epa.
