How the figures are counted: each NHTSA campaign number is counted once for this exact make, model and model year as returned by the NHTSA recalls API; a campaign that covers several models is counted once on each model's page. “Units potentially affected” is the manufacturer-reported figure for the whole campaign, not for this model year alone.

Worked example: 2015 Ram Promaster: 13 campaigns = 20V582000, 20V036000, 19V818000 and 10 more.
