Why are recall lists important?
Recalls are issued to ensure that vehicles meet safety standards and to mitigate risks before major accidents occur.
In 2024, there were 1,073 safety recalls affecting over 35 million vehicles and other equipment. Car recalls address safety defects that could jeopardize the safety of drivers, passengers, or other road users.
