    NHTSA Reports All 2023 Recalls

      One automaker dominates the number of total recalls.

    Reporting through December 20th, 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has data about manufacturer recalls for the year. Ford has issued 54 recalls affecting 5,692,135 vehicles. Not only is this the highest of any automaker, but it marks the third year in a row that Ford is at the top spot for recalls.

    Ford had almost twice as many Kia vehicles at 3 million. This was related to leaking brake fluid which is a fire risk. Stellantis came second with 45 recalls and 2.7 million affected cars. Third to fifth place goes to BMW with 29 recalls, Mercedes-Benz with 27 recalls, and Nissan with 22 recalls.

    Ford had the highest number of recalls but didn't have the largest recall in 2023. That honor goes to Tesla for its Autopilot safety system. This affected 2,031,220 Tesla vehicles. According to NHTSA, Autopilot currently is not set up to prevent misusage. Tesla plans to remedy the Autopilot recall with over-the-air (OTA) updates.

    • When I lived in the Seattle area, I'd go to Vancouver BC about once a month ... just because ... no reason other than its being so close and getting to be in another country. Back then, I'd think, "What would I have to do to live here?"  They're realistically more tightly wound than PNWers.  Eastern Canadians who make the move to their west coast often returrn to where they came from - Ontario, Quebec, etc., because they're not (as) tightly wound. Then, the light bulb went on:  "Vancouver is their Miami." Hmmm. Pass. There is something to be said for abundant sunshine.  And how it can impact your outlook and health.
    • WOW, they have nailed it with their Black edition available on various models. GENESIS UNVEILS GV80 BLACK AND GV80 COUPE BLACK QUOTE: Genesis Black models are defined by their captivating dark-black color theme that extends throughout the interior and exterior, flawlessly embodying the essence of Genesis’ design philosophy “Athletic Elegance” in its purest form.  All visible exterior features in the GV80 Black and the GV80 Coupe Black are finished in black, including the radiator grille, bumper garnish, front emblem, daylight opening (DLO) molding, roof racks and rear bumper molding. Even lesser visible details like the headlamp inner side bezels are black, completing the sleek look.  Someone paid attention to detail on these, the pictures are awesome.
    • For those that like sedans, seems Genesis it planning to offer more options including this sweet looking Black Edition in 2025.   Seems the Black edition is the top trim level on all the Genesis auto's, very cool stuff.

    • This would be more of a random thought than a spotting. This Texan had a Christmas wreath in front of his truck, but did its engine bay have a motor in it?  I was more interested in getting this photo than asking him to find out.
