About Key Fob Guide

Key Fob Guide lists NHTSA safety recalls that touch the key, ignition and anti-theft systems of US vehicles, together with general, non vehicle-specific guidance on replacing and pairing a key fob.

Who Maintains This Site

Key Fob Guide is run by a small editorial team. The recall data on this site is drawn from the NHTSA Recalls API and checked periodically against the live NHTSA records.

Editorial Standards

Vehicle pages on this site show only the NHTSA recall data recorded for that vehicle. Where no recall record exists for a vehicle year, the page has been removed rather than filled with unsourced material. The general guidance pages (How It Works, Tools and Equipment, When to Call a Locksmith, FAQ) describe key fob systems and programming concepts generically; they do not name a specific vehicle’s part number, frequency, or procedure.

How We Are Funded

Key Fob Guide is free to use and does not currently run display advertising. We do not accept paid placements from key fob retailers, locksmith services, or aftermarket programming-tool vendors. We do not collect personal information from visitors beyond standard server access logs. See our Privacy Policy for the details.

Corrections

If you find a recall listing on this site that appears incorrect or out of date, get in touch through our contact page. NHTSA.gov remains the source of record for current recall status.

On 2026-09-17 the per-vehicle fob specifications (FCC ID, frequency, button count, battery type), the programming procedures, the OBD2 tool compatibility claims, the supplier recommendations and the price ranges were removed, and the 6,709 vehicle pages that carried nothing else were deleted. They had been generated from a template rather than recorded from any source. What remains is the NHTSA recall data, which is checked against the NHTSA Recalls API (see data/nhtsa-freshness.json, 40 of 40 vehicles matched at the last check), and general guidance that names no specific vehicle.
