Calculation: Sum of recall campaigns across all indexed model years of each model.
Data freshness: Dataset last synchronised Jul 23, 2026.

Limitations

Figures are raw counts. VerifyTheVehicle holds no vehicle sales or registration data, so nothing here is normalised into a rate — a high-volume nameplate will tend to show more of everything.
Coverage is limited to the 37 makes and model years 2015–2025 currently in the index, not the entire US fleet.
A model on sale for a decade will out-count a newer one purely on span, not on relative reliability.
