U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)'s video: Ridesharing Vehicles and Open Safety Recalls

As with all passenger vehicles, ridesharing vehicles can have unrepaired, or open, safety recalls, which could expose customers in these vehicles unknowingly to safety risks. GAO estimated that nationally, nearly 1 in 6, or about 16 percent, of ridesharing vehicles that performed a passenger trip in August 2022 had an open safety recall as of December 2022. The Department of Transportation is working with ridesharing companies to raise awareness of open safety recalls among ridesharing vehicles.
