Tesla models dominate list of most-likely-to-be-recalled vehicles

We hear about recalls all the time, some of which can be quite entertaining to detail, but it’s even more interesting to look at the brands with the most recalls each year. iSeeCars recently released its study of the most-recalled vehicles of 2022, finding that Tesla led the way, with all its models earning spots on the top-five list.

iSeeCars then used that data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to look at vehicles from the past 10 years and project the predicted number of recalls over a vehicle's 30-year lifetime. While the average number of lifetime recalls landed at 4.0, several vehicles have a much larger number of predicted recalls. The 10 most recalled / most likely to be recalled vehicles are:

10. Ram 1500 Classic: 20.5 projected lifetime recalls

9. Ram 1500: 20.5

8. Volkswagen Atlas: 20.8

7. Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport: 22.4

6. Lincoln Aviator: 23
