Car manufacturers with the fewest vehicles recalled
By Sean Jackson
When considering the overall quality of a car, factors from safety to fuel efficiency must be examined. Dependability also undoubtedly plays an significant role. Better construction not only means greater confidence in your investment, but also fewer trips to repair manufacturer defects.
The data experts at AxleGeeks sought out the car brands with the fewest vehicles affected by safety recalls since Jan. 1, 2015. With data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, we ranked the brands from most to fewest affected vehicles. However, the total volume of cars produced by a given manufacturer is unavailable, making it unlikely to determine what percentage of a brand’s vehicles ultimately fall victim to manufacturer defects. Lower volume of production will naturally lead to fewer vehicles affected by recalls. An authority on cars and car brands, AxleGeeks recently launched an app to provide users with the latest information on the go.
Note: While we considered recalls reported after Jan. 1, 2015, they do not necessarily affect vehicles made in two thousand fifteen and, in fact, are more likely to affect older models.
