Fourteen companies have stayed on the registered list while retiring more devices than they currently offer.
Fourteen companies currently on the FMCSA registered list have retired 86 devices between them. Between them they list 30. Checking that your vendor appears on the list tells you almost nothing about the box in your cab.
The short version. A revoked ELD and a missing ELD are the same violation at roadside: 49 CFR 395.8(a)(1), no record of duty status, and the driver goes out of service. You get 60 days from the removal date, and during that window you are on paper logs.
Most carriers check compliance by recognising the brand. That check fails silently here, because a company can retire a device and stay on the list with a different one. These 15 companies have done exactly that 86 times.
FMCSA publishes two lists: devices that are registered, and devices that have been removed. It publishes them as they are today. It does not publish the relationship between them, and that relationship is where the useful information is.
Reading both together, 15 companies stand out. Each one still appears on the registered list, and each one has retired more devices than it currently lists. Together they account for 86 removals against 30 live entries.
Of those 86 removals, 55 were self-revocations: the manufacturer withdrew its own device. That is ordinary product lifecycle. Hardware generations end, an Android build stops being supported, a model is replaced by its successor. It is what an active product line looks like, not a warning about a company.
The remaining 31 were removed by FMCSA. Each row below prints its own split, because those two things mean very different things about a vendor and identical things about your obligation.
That is the entire point. Whichever way a device leaves the list, the carrier running it has 60 days, and after that an officer treats it exactly like a truck with no ELD at all.

Teal is what the company lists today. The second band is what it has retired, coloured by whether those removals were the vendor's own (olive) or FMCSA's (crimson).
If a provider fixes the deficiency FMCSA identified, the device can go back on the registered list. FMCSA's own guidance is not to wait for that.
This page is about brands whose devices have changed. The fastest way to know where you stand is to look up the device itself.
Devices leave this list without warning. We are building alerts for this; leave your email and we will tell you when they launch.
We will use your address to tell you when device alerts launch. No digest, no list rental.
A device leaves this registry most weeks. We are building alerts that mail when one does, with the company, the date and whether the vendor withdrew it or FMCSA revoked it. Leave your email and we will tell you when they launch.

Claim or correct your entryCounts are computed from the FMCSA registered ELD list and removed ELD list, retrieved 2026-10-13, and are recomputed every time this page is rebuilt so the prose and the table cannot disagree. The 60-day replacement window, the reversion to paper logs, the 395.8(a)(1) citation and the out-of-service consequence are FMCSA's, stated in its removal announcements.
One known limit, stated plainly. Counts are grouped by the company name exactly as FMCSA publishes it, and FMCSA is not always consistent about that. Azuga appears under both Azuga and Azuga, Inc., which splits one firm into two rows. Two further pairs look like the same company under different spellings, and we have not merged them because we cannot verify from a name string that two filings belong to one business. Searching a company here matches text, so it will find every spelling; the per-company counts will not.
What this page does not do. It does not rank ELDs, it has not tested them, and it does not suggest any company here is a poor choice. A retirement is a fact about a filing. Several of these firms are among the longest-running vendors on the registry, which is precisely why they have retired so much.
