Abstract This analysis was performed to assist the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in identifying components and systems to be included in early warning reporting (EWR) categories that would be based upon historical safety-related recalls. The categorization presented in this paper is primarily the result of the examination of recall data maintained by NHTSA in its DIMS II database. Complaints data in DIMS II were also analyzed with respect to the recalls. This paper describes the summarization and analysis of the data, and presents the results for each vehicle category: light vehicles, medium-heavy vehicles, buses, motorcycles, and trailers.
