Top 10 Automakers That Most Issued Recalls in 2022 (PDF)

Do you know which car manufacturers suffered the most recalls in 2022? A list from the U.S. Department of Transportation tells us exactly what happened.

A total of 67 recalls were issued by Ford in 2022, making them number one on both the recall list and the number of cars that might be affected. If you feel there has been a lot of Ford recalls in the news in 2022, you aren’t imagining things. At that rate, Ford was recalling one vehicle every 5.4 days. This year, Ford recalls potentially affected 8.63 million vehicles, more than any other manufacturer.

No one likes waiting for their car to be fixed. Recalls are no exception – it means there was an error in the car’s creation, but it also means that the manufacturer is providing you with a free fix. On the other hand, while recalls may not always be grave matters, some of them are still worth all your attention. The Takata airbag recall is one such instance, and should not go ignored under any circumstances. Meanwhile, some recalls are less urgent – like the rearview camera recall that activates at five o’clock.

Tesla came in second for having the most vehicles potentially affected by a recall at 3.76 million. The total number of recalls was much lower at only 20 total recalls, and it’s also worth noting that many of Tesla’s recalls were fixed with over-the-air updates. Stellantis had 38 total recalls and a total of 3.04 million cars potentially affected. GM’s recall story for 2022 was similar to Tesla’s, with 32 recalls but a total of 3.37 million cars potentially affected.
