The 10 model lines with the most recall campaigns per model year
Model lines sorted by NHTSA recall campaigns per model year, most first. Safety recalls are free repairs the maker performs.
Filed 16 Oct 2026
10 model lines from the 173-line model file, sorted by recall campaigns per model year, most 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.
