We log material corrections and methodology changes here, with the date each was made. If you spot an error, email hello@motorcaliber.com with the vehicle and what you believe is wrong.
01How corrections work
When a reader or our own review finds a figure that does not match the live NHTSA record, we verify against NHTSA and correct the page promptly. A correction that changes a Safety Index, a recall count, or a stated fact is logged below. Small typographic fixes are not logged. Any change to how the Index itself is computed is versioned in the methodology.
02Correction and version log
- 2026-06 - Methodology version 1.0 published: the initial NHTSA Safety Index formula (Crash Protection 0 to 70, Avoidance Tech 0 to 10, Defect Record 0 to 20).
