Ford just recalled 634,000 vehicles for fire issues.

GM: 2021 had 15+ world wide recalls. Unfortunately it's not easy to find a source that allows you to view all of GM's 2022 recalls but just by googling you will find out that in 2022 they recalled 340,000 on their SUVs, and there were many other recalls to address wide range of defects for some reason Sierra's kept coming up a lot so not sure what's going on there.

Toyota: in 2022 recalled all their newly released EVs because of fears that the wheels might come off. In general Toyota had something like 6 recalls and one even for a parking break issue.

Honda: in 2022 had 6+ recalls for driveshaft safety issues, wheel safety concerns, seats malfunction, and and seatbelt concerns

FCA: these guys are on a whole new level. In 2021, they recalled 1.2 million vehicles because of wheel issues...something about them becoming projectiles! Then another 1 million for engine issues. Year before that in 2019 they recalled over 4 million cars for software issues and the year before that wasn't much better as they recalled 700,000 cars. These are all single issue recalls, I bet you that if you took into account al the other smaller recalls then the numbers would be far worse.

Shitting on Tesla is easy and very "hip" thing to do, but the reality is that they simply get more publicity when there is a recall, the other guys however just fly under the radar.

Add to it most of if not all tesla recalls have been simple OTA software updates from my driveway. Source: I own a tesla.

If Chrysler could do OTA updates Anton Yelchin would still be alive.

Yeah, I'm still pissed at that. Chrysler was slow-rolling the recall updates and hadn't gotten to his Jeep yet by the time he was killed, but did accelerate the recall, which could only be done in person at the dealership to upload the update. It still took them most of a year to get them all done. Honestly, vehicles by law should be mandated to have OTA update capability since that's a life-critical safety feature, as demonstrated by Anton's death.

Sucks that you are downvoted for simply stating fact. It’s just another symptom of “Are you on my side or their side?”
