To be fair, I have always maintained that there is no correlation between recalls and long-term reliability. While I still find this to be true, it is a hassle to take your vehicle into a dealership for open recalls.
Our friends at iSeeCars.com looked at the vehicles that were the most and the least recalled vehicles. The takeaways:
- Tesla is the most-recalled brand, with the Y, 3, X, and S occupying 4 of the top 5 slots
- Mercedes-Benz leads the least-recalled list, followed closely by Toyota and Lexus
- 33 Models are projected to experience 1 or fewer recalls over their lifespan
- 25 Models are projected to experience at least 10 recalls over their lifespan
- The Tesla Model Y is projected to have 62 recalls over its lifespan
