Carfax warned that there has been a surge of cars on the road that currently have active 'park outside' recalls. These are considered more dangerous recalls due to the fire hazard.

More than 3.7 million cars that are currently on the road have a "park outside" recall, according to recent data from Carfax. That's a 40% increase in cars with those recalls nationwide since May 2023. The number of cars with park outside recalls in some areas nearly doubled. In Atlanta, for instance, there were 113,000 cars on the road with park outside recalls in January. That's up from the roughly 64,000 vehicles reported in May 2023.

3 million vehicles in September due to the risk of fire, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration . In June 2023, Lincoln issued a park outside recall for over 142,000 cars due to the same fire risk, warning owners to park "outside and away from structures and other vehicles until the recall has been remedied," the NHTSA said. That warning came just one month after Chrysler issued a park outside recall for certain Jeep Cherokee vehicles, due to the risk of fire.
