Ford "champion" of car recalls in the US, equal to many other companies combined

In all of 2023, Ford issued 54 recalls, involving 5,692,135 vehicles in the US, but in just the first 6 months of this year, Ford and its subsidiary Lincoln have issued 31 recalls, involving 3,660,752 cars, pickup trucks and SUVs.

Ford had the highest volume, with 1.9 million vehicles sold in 2023. Toyota was right behind, with 1.89 million vehicles, while Chevrolet and GMC together sold more than 2.2 million vehicles.

However, Ford recalled the most vehicles, more than GM, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, VW, and BMW combined.

Several Ford recalls in 2024 involve more than half a million F-150 pickups for a software update to fix an automatic first gear issue, and an equal number of Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles because the 12-volt battery pack could be overloaded due to an electrical system failure.

In the US, Tesla has the second-largest recall after Ford. The company has issued eight recalls, covering 2,552,178 vehicles, despite selling far fewer vehicles than Ford (1.8 million globally in 2023). Most recalled Teslas only need software updates to fix the problem.

Chrysler ranked third, with 28 recalls, but for 2,247,965 vehicles. Kia, Honda (including Acura) and Toyota (including Lexus) each recalled more than 1 million vehicles in the US in the first six months of the year.

Meanwhile, GM recalled the fewest of the major automakers - 655,867 vehicles, ranking 8th.

Next in order are Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru, Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover, BMW, Mazda...
