What this means
The records were matched to the NHTSA make/model identity “Ford Taurus”. Each evidence type is reported separately.

NHTSA says complaints are consumer reports. RecallCheck excludes narratives, VINs, names, contact details and locations. A crash, fire, injury or death flag is reported information, not an independently verified causal finding.
