In response to owner complaints a manufacturer may issue an automobile recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) orders many recalls and influences the recall process. The NHTSA fields safety-related complaints through letters and its toll-free telephone hot line.NHTSA engineers perform an engineering analysis,  when the NHTSA registers enough complaints. Then the NHTSA engineers contact the automobile’s manufacturer. The manufacturer must either remedy the defect or launch its own defect investigation.

Generally, automobile recalls concern defects that affect the car’s safety, cause the car to fall below federal safety standards, or both, and are common to a particular type of car or equipment. The defect can be in components, performance, construction,  or materials found in the car or in related equipment, such as child safety seats.
