The term ‘recall’, which we hear frequently in the automobile industry, means that companies or authorized institutions recall vehicles after detecting risky problems. Users also contact the dealers and send their cars back for necessary procedures. This situation, which is very important for security, happened quite often in 2022, as it does every year. Many auto giants recalled hundreds of thousands of their vehicles for some reason.
Now, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has listed the automakers that have recalled the most and least of their vehicles in the US. Ford is at the top of this list, which includes millions of vehicles from different models, and automobile giants such as Bugatti and Maserati are at the end.
Ford tops with 67 recalls affecting more than 8 million vehicles
When NHTSA’s data is analyzed, it can be seen that the US automobile giant Ford is at the top with 67 recalls affecting 8 million 636 thousand 265 vehicles. In addition, automobile giants such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla are also included in this list. Volkswagen ranks second, as the list is built on recall numbers. If it were made according to the number of vehicles most affected, Tesla, which called more than 3 million 700 thousand vehicles, would be behind Ford.
