How to read it
Each bar is the number of US safety recall campaigns that list that model year, from the US register (NHTSA), read 2026-11-13 and refreshed weekly. Recalls are one signal, not a reliability score: they do not count breakdowns that never led to a recall, and a recall means a free fix exists. The two newest model years have had less time to collect recalls.
