Vehicles with Most Recall Campaigns

A vehicle recall is a manufacturer-initiated or NHTSA-ordered action to repair a safety-related defect. Manufacturers must notify owners and fix the defect free of charge at any authorized dealership.

Not necessarily. Some recalls cover minor issues. What matters most is the severity of the defects — recalls involving brakes, airbags, fuel systems, or steering are more serious than cosmetic or software issues. Our Safety Score weights recall severity accordingly.
