The International Brake Recall Monitor is The BRAKE Report’s monthly roundup of brake-related vehicle recalls from markets outside the United States. Each edition draws on Transport Canada, the EU Safety Gate, Germany’s Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt, car-recalls.eu, Japan’s MLIT, Korea’s KOTSA, and the OECD GlobalRecalls portal to surface actions that often precede or parallel US activity.
We focus on what matters to brake industry professionals: root-cause detail, named component suppliers, campaign numbers, cross-border patterns, and emerging risks in ADAS-integrated braking, regenerative systems, and electronic parking brakes. Commercial vehicle and fleet recalls get particular attention.
