EV battery recalls

Battery recalls are rare relative to the number of EVs on the road, but they are the campaigns regulators treat most seriously and the ones buyers ask about most. This page lists every high-voltage battery recall and thermal-risk campaign on our record — 47 NHTSA campaigns across 19 vehicles at the last data update — with the model years affected, a link to every campaign record, and how to check whether your VIN is included.

Battery safety guides — not recalls: BYD Seal Blade battery (2023–2025). The BYD Seal has no battery recall campaign on our record; that playbook is a battery-safety guide, not a recall playbook.

Two campaigns readers often look for on this page are high-voltage electrical campaigns rather than battery recalls:

What to do if your EV battery is recalled

Start by confirming whether your VIN is actually included: a campaign covers specific production ranges, not every vehicle of a model year. Use the regulator lookups below with your VIN, or start from our used-EV recall check if you are looking at a vehicle you don't own yet.

Whether the repair costs you anything — and what the manufacturer is obliged to do — is covered on our recalls hub under “Is a recall repair free if my EV is out of warranty?”, which walks through the Canadian and US rules. For background on how battery chemistry shapes these risks, see our battery guide.

Verify your vehicle with the regulator

The regulator in your jurisdiction is always the authoritative source for whether your specific VIN is affected by an open safety campaign. Check the database below using your vehicle identification number.
