I've owned three Audis over the last decade with no recalls
Tesla deliberately pushes boundaries and breaks from tradition. That's admirable, but traditional manufacturers have decades of engineering knowledge behind their approaches for good reasons. Push the envelope enough and you'll have more misses and in Tesla's case more recalls

- eblume 1y agoA quick search for "Audi recall" shows several recalls this year. Here's the first official link I found: https://www.audiusa.com/en/compliance/takata/ https://www.audiusa.com/en/compliance/takata/

- op00to 1y agoRatio of U.S. vehicles recalled in 2024 → 2024 U.S. sales Tesla: 5,135,991 → 516,597 ≈ 9.94. Ford: 4,777,161 → 2,078,832 ≈ 2.30. GM: 1,872,567 → 2,700,000 ≈ 0.69. Toyota: 1,221,666 → 2,330,000 ≈ 0.52. Honda: 3,794,113 → 1,291,490 ≈ 2.94. A Tesla sold in 2024 was roughly 4 times more likely than a Ford to be involved in a recall campaign that year. Despite selling far fewer vehicles, Tesla’s recalls affected nearly ten times its annual U.S. sales volume. This reflects a structural difference, not media bias. Tesla initiates fewer recall campaigns overall, but those campaigns routinely involve millions of vehicles. When normalized for sales volume, Tesla’s recall exposure is the highest of any major automaker. “Innovation risk” cuts both ways.
- jjav 1y ago> You are making things up out of thin air. Not OP but not really. Recalls are pretty rare in most cars. I own lots of cars and I've only had two recalls in the last 33 years. One for a Mazda minivan to replace a rear hatch shock (i.e. nothing safety related) and one for a Dodge truck (I don't remember what it was).
