Per wikipedia: A product recall is a request to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects that might endanger the consumer or put the maker/seller at risk of legal action.
The company with the highest recalls (per data provided in link above) makes great cars. Great cars that manage to kill people for the mere act of driving them normally.
- kw71 11y agoI laughed a bit when I saw the collection of "Share of vehicles in operation vs. share of recalls" bargraphs. I am thinking here that where the "% recalled" bar is higher than the "% in service" for a model year this is derogatory for the particular make. So it looks like Consumer Reports' favorites are having bad times: Both Toyota and Honda had a higher share of recalls than vehicles in service for five model years. Also for any model year until 2014, from these bargraphs it appears that GM has not had a higher percentage of recalled cars than others: 2008 may be close, 2009 beaten by Ford, 2010 by Toyota, 2011 by Toyota Honda and Chrysler, 2011 by Toyota Ford and Chrysler, 2012 by four makes, 2013 by five makes. Looks like 2014 was a sad model year for GM and do-overs.
- bliti 11y agoYou are right. Those vehicles having issues for Honda and toyota are those who are made in America or have major components made there. They share a lot of suppliers. Which is am underlying issue. No amount of kaizen is gonna fix a broken supply chain.
- Aoyagi 11y agoOh, so Toyota makes shit cars too. Cool.
