Every quarterly progress report manufacturers must file with NHTSA on each open vehicle recall — 73,643 snapshots across 11,578 unique recall campaigns. Each row shows: affected unit count, cumulative remedied count, unreachable owners, removed-from-recall count, computed completion percentage, and reporting period (YYYY-Q). Lets you see WHICH recalls actually got fixed and which were ignored — perfect for identifying laggard manufacturers and recalls stuck at <50% completion despite years of reporting.
