Chain-driven compact SUVs: no timing belt on the calendar

Compact SUV lines whose timing drive the source table lists as a chain, sorted by recall campaigns per model year.

Filed 16 Oct 2026

10 model lines from the 173-line model file, cut to timingDrive = chain and bodyClass = suv-compact, sorted by recall campaigns per model year, fewest first. Safety recalls are free repairs the maker performs. A campaign count is not a defect rate and is not adjusted for how many cars were sold; a line with fewer model years in the file has had fewer chances to collect campaigns, so the years column is printed beside every row.
