Every incident, injury and recall on file, from the national registries that publish them. Search a maker, a model, a town or a reference number — or narrow by what happened. Each record is the registry's own text, reproduced without rewriting, with the reference that locates it at the source. Registries count different things, so a total is a count of FILINGS and never a measure of how dangerous something is. How the record was collected.

On July [XXX], 2025 at 6:20 PM MT a Waymo Autonomous Vehicle ("Waymo AV") operating in Mesa, Arizona was in a collision involving a detached object from a pickup truck on [XXX] at [XXX]. The Waymo AV was traveling northbound in the left turn lane on [XXX] and slowing for a queue of traffic at the intersection with [XXX]. A pickup truck was traveling southbound in the leftmost lane on the west side of [XXX] without its rear driver side tire. As the SUV continued to proceed straight, an object detached from the pickup truck's rear axle and rolled into the Waymo AV's lane of travel, making contact with the front of the Waymo AV. At the time of the impact, the Waymo AV's Level 4 ADS was engaged in autonomous mode. The Waymo AV sustained damage. The passenger in the Waymo AV later alleged an injury of unspecified nature and severity. Waymo is reporting this crash under Request No. 2 of Standing General Order 2021-01. Waymo may supplement or correct its reporting with additional information as it may become available.

SV is the subject vehicle — the one whose operator filed the report. CP is the crash partner, the other party. Contact area is where each was struck. NHTSA requires a report for any crash involving the driving system regardless of fault.
A Zoox vehicle (Vehicle 1) in autonomous mode was traveling in the left lane on southwest-bound [XXX] toward [XXX] in San Francisco when a ball, immediately followed by a dog, entered the roadway from between parked cars on the left side of [XXX] directly into the path of the Zoox vehicle. The Zoox vehicle braked in response, but its underbody made contact with the dog. The Zoox vehicle operator then disengaged autonomous mode and brought the vehicle to a stop. The Zoox vehicle operator then reversed the vehicle to free the dog. The dog owner did not indicate injuries to the dog at the scene. The dog and its owner then returned to the sidewalk and the Zoox vehicle operator drove the vehicle from the scene. The police were not called. Zoox subsequently received an email alleging injuries to the dog, "abrasions behind its left front leg and a possible cracked rib."

Reported narrative: IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING A DA VINCI-ASSISTED PROSTATECTOMY PROCEDURE; WHILE USING THE MONOPOLAR CURVED SCISSORS (MCS) INSTRUMENT, THE PATIENT SUSTAINED A BLADDER BURN. PRIOR TO ACTIVATION, THE MCS TIP COVER ACCESSORY APPEARED TO BE PROPERLY INSTALLED. THE GROUNDING PAD WAS CONFIRMED TO BE CORRECTLY PLACED AND FREE OF DEFECTS. THE ERBE GENERATOR WAS IN USE AT THE TIME, WITH THE COAGULATION MODE SET TO SWIFT: 4. THE INJURY OCCURRED WHILE THE MCS INSTRUMENT WAS ACTIVELY DELIVERING ENERGY FOR DISSECTION OF THE BLADDER NECK. AT THE TIME OF ACTIVATION, THE INSTRUMENT¿S JAWS WERE NEITHER IMMERSED IN FLUID NOR CONTAMINATED WITH CARBONIZED TISSUE OR OTHER BIOLOGICAL DEBRIS. THE MCS TIP COVER ACCESSORY WAS OBSERVED TO HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITH BLADDER TISSUE, RESULTING IN A THERMAL INJURY. THE BURN WAS ADDRESSED WHILE PERFORMING THE VESICOURETHRAL ANASTOMOSIS. NO ADDITIONAL TISSUE RESECTION WAS REQUIRED, AND THERE WAS NO BLEEDING AS A RESULT OF THE INJURY. AN INTUITIVE SURGICAL, INC. (ISI) TECHNICAL SUPPORT ENGINEER WAS CONSULTED AND SUGGESTED THE POSSIBILITY OF A SHORT CIRCUIT DUE TO COMPROMISED INSULATION. THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED ENERGY TO BE REDIRECTED TO THE INSTRUMENT¿S SHAFT OR MCS T

da Vinci Surgical System — Injury report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: A review of an article was performed that presented a retrospective review of experiences with robotic lymphadenectomy procedures. The article noted one man was diagnosed with inguinal panniculitis (on the side of radical inguinal lymph node dissection (rILND)), which was managed successfully with a 14-day course of cefditoren.The corresponding author was contacted and stated that the reported postoperative lymphoceles were not caused by, nor attributed to, any Intuitive Surgical device. They represent well-recognized complications following inguinal lymph node dissection. No da Vinci system or instrument malfunctions occurred during any of the procedures reported in the manuscript. Consequently, no corrective actions or interventions related to device malfunction were required. The patients were adult males undergoing robotic inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer. No additional patient-specific information can be provided due to privacy regulations.
