How these numbers were computed
From the NHTSA recalls flat file, campaigns with a report date from 2025-11-07 to 2026-11-03 (built 2026-11-07 08:30 UTC). Units are the population estimates manufacturers report to NHTSA. A campaign that covers several makes counts once in the totals and once under each make in the per-make figures. Per-make pages: vehicle recalls by make.
