20190802019-02-22. Fuel System. Issue: On certain vehicles, the fuel tank could be punctured in a crash. Safety Risk: Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, creates the risk of a fire.

20171102017-03-02. Structure. On certain vehicles, the windshield may not have been properly bonded to the car body. This could allow the glass panel to separate from the vehicle in the event of a crash which would increase the risk of injury to the occupants. Correction: Dealers will re-bond the windshield to the car body.
20170412017-01-25. Fuel System. On certain vehicles and replacement engines, the fastening screws for the fuel collection pipes could shear off due to stress corrosion cracking.

Correction: Dealers will replace the fastening screws of each of the collection pipes with new and improved screws.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
