According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) through December 20, Ford has issued 54 recalls potentially affecting 5,692,135 vehicles in 2023, the most of any automaker. This year marks the third year in a row Ford has held the top spot for recalls in the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Going strictly by vehicles affected, Ford had nearly twice as many as second-place Kia at 3 million, the bulk of which came through a single recall for leaking brake fluid leading to a fire risk. If you go by total recalls, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles USA was second to Ford with 45, affecting 2.7 million cars. BMW had 29 recalls, Mercedes-Benz had 27, and Nissan rounds out the top five for automakers at 22.<\/p>\n

Ford’s numbers are down from 65 recalls affecting 8.5 million cars in 2022 but it’s still way ahead of other automakers. Things have improved roughly 30 percent over last year per\u00a0Ford, which offered the following statement to Motor1<\/em>:<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re constantly working to improve vehicle quality and deliver the best experience for our customers. Voluntary recalls are one of the ways we proactively protect customers from experiencing an issue. Our initial quality is improving and customers with our latest vehicles are benefiting from it. Compared with 2022, about 30% fewer Ford customers were affected by safety related recalls in 2023.”<\/p>\n

The surprise recall story for 2023 is actually\u00a0Volkswagen. You may recall the German brand holding the number two spot behind Ford for 2022, clocking 45 recalls affecting 1 million vehicles. Imagine our surprise when VW didn’t show up on NHTSA’s pie chart for 2023, which only shows 12 brands. We thought perhaps data wasn’t available, but searching specifically for the company reveals a total of 18 recalls for 332,700 cars. That’s considerably<\/em> lower than last year. We contacted VW to see what kind of magic they’re working these days, and if we get some answers we’ll jump in with an update.<\/p>\n

While Ford still leads for recalls, Tesla takes the dubious honor of having the largest single recall for automakers in 2023 over its Autopilot driver-assist system. This one is likely fresh in your memory as it occurred in early December, affecting 2,031,220 vehicles. That’s pretty close to every Tesla the company built for the US market, but it likely won’t be a costly recall for the automaker. NHTSA determined that Autopilot doesn’t do enough to prevent misuse, which Tesla plans to remedy with an over-the-air software update.<\/p>\n

With a few days left in 2023, it’s always possible a big recall could crop up. If that happens, we’ll certainly update the post. But with folks headed out for extended holiday breaks, don’t hold your breath.<\/p>\n
