CARFAX: Urgent 'Do Not Drive' Recalls Spike 65% Since Summer 2024
CARFAX reports a significant 65% increase in "Do Not Drive" recalls since summer 2024, now affecting 725,000 vehicles nationwide. These critical recalls, issued by automakers and NHTSA, require immediate vehicle parking due to severe safety risks including potential brake failures and defective airbags.
The report reveals that while dangerous recalls have spiked, the total number of vehicles with unrepaired recalls has decreased by 4 million to 54.6 million nationwide. California leads with 118,400 affected vehicles, followed by Texas (61,200) and Florida (40,600). Eight state DMVs now utilize CARFAX's Vehicle Recall Search Service to identify vehicles needing urgent attention.

Automakers Warn Owners With 'Do Not Drive' Recalls To Not Operate Those Vehicles
Automakers working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issue "Do Not Drive" recalls when a vehicle's defect is so dangerous that it should not be operated under any circumstances — not even for a short trip. The risk of a crash, fire, or serious injury is so severe that both manufacturers and federal safety regulators advise owners to park the vehicle immediately and have it towed to a dealership for repairs. These recalls often involve critical safety systems, including brake failures or defective airbags that can explode.
"When it comes to safety recalls, overlooking or ignoring them can put lives at risk," said Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief at CARFAX. "The good news is that checking for open recalls is fast and simple with our free online tools, like at Carfax.com/recall, and repairs are always free for consumers. Every driver should know their vehicle's status and act without delay."
Here are the Top 15 states with vehicles that have a "Do Not Drive" recall:
1 | CA | 118,400 |
2 | TX | 61,200 |
3 | FL | 40,600 |
4 | AZ | 28,000 |
5 | OH | 25,400 |
6 | PA | 23,500 |
7 | NC | 22,400 |
8 | GA | 21,900 |
9 | TN | 21,300 |
10 | IL | 18,800 |
11 | SC | 18,100 |
12 | VA | 18,100 |
13 | NY | 18,000 |
14 | MI | 17,500 |
15 | WA | 17,400 |
CARFAX data also found that the total number of vehicles in the country with at least one recall has dropped by about four million since last year, to 54.6 million vehicles with unrepaired recalls nationwide. This decline underscores the impact of CARFAX, the Automakers, and NHTSA's efforts in creating greater awareness of open recalls and having them fixed.
"Programs like the Vehicle Recall Search Service, launched in 2018 by CARFAX and the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, help state motor vehicle, public safety, and inspection departments identify vehicles with unresolved recalls," said Faisal Hasan, Vice President of Data at CARFAX. "To date, this initiative has pinpointed millions of vehicles that need attention, making roads safer for everyone."
Eight state DMVs use the Vehicle Recall Search Service:
