    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.

    • I dont like how Lamborghini did their "new" retro Countach.  It sucks.  I dont like how Ferrari is going to do THEIR "new" retro 849 Testarossa.  Its not a bad looker.  Better than the new Countach.  But I feels like both Ferrari and Lambo need not name their new models with name plates from their past. No need to. Both Ferrari and Lambo always were amongst the sexiest cars on the planet in their time. With new designs and names. So why go retro?  With that being said, the ONLY model that I wished Lamborghini had done and brought out was the 'new' retro Miura a couple of decades back.  It was stunning.

    • Work is keeping me busy, too busy to write up press releases, here is the new 2026 Nissan Sentra, talk about blah and boring. Nissan unveils the all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra in the U.S. Seamless connectivity with class-leading available dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Sporty SR grade headlined by 18-inch wheels, blacked-out trim, ambient lighting and rear spoiler Sentra offers outstanding value with high level of available features, including the reintroduction of premium SL grade Confidence for every drive with available ProPILOT Assist and Blind Spot Intervention The all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra builds on a proven and reliable powertrain to deliver a dynamic, yet efficient driving experience. Under the hood is a standard 2.0-liter inline-four engine rated for 149 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque. Sentra has standard idle stop/start to help save gas in city driving. The engine is paired with a proven Xtronic CVT that delivered confident performance in Sentra for several years. The CVT has been retuned for the 2026 model year to deliver a more natural, smooth acceleration feel. A new Sport drive mode (except S grade) was tuned in the U.S. for sharper throttle responses and more thrilling shifting patterns that help give the car a sporty feel. Precision engineering throughout the vehicle makes Sentra more enjoyable to drive, while also being even quieter and more comfortable than the outgoing model. Sentra features an independent strut front and multi-link rear suspension, and standard rear disc brakes for confident braking performance. Thanks to significant reinforcement of the unibody, the all-new Sentra has 6% greater rigidity than its predecessor. The steering wheel features an enlarged dynamic damper that effectively reduces road vibrations, ensuring a more composed driving experience. New shock absorber valving helps better mute impact harshness from bumps. Finally, engineers reduced the size of body openings throughout the vehicle to help reduce sound levels. EPA fuel economy estimates will be announced at a later date. OUCH Ford’s Record-Breaking Recall Year Continues: 115,000 Trucks Pulled Over Steering Wheel Issue
