Car recall rankings
These rankings sort the 52 popular vehicles we track (model years 2020-2024) by the questions people search for: which models have the most NHTSA recall campaigns, the most owner complaints, and which have had recalls filed since 2024. Remember: more recalls is not automatically worse — some makers recall proactively — and only a VIN check shows what is open on your car.
