Verdict: False
It's no secret that Tesla vehicles have received a number of recalls throughout the years, to the point that it seems like they receive more than any other company.
It's no secret that Tesla vehicles have received a number of recalls throughout the years, to the point that it seems like they receive more than any other company. But the main reason it seems that way is because of the publicity Tesla receives. When something goes wrong with a Tesla, it's immediately news, whereas an issue with a Ford doesn't become as noteworthy to the press or population. In fact, in 2024 Ford and Chrysler both issued 51 unique recalls, with four other brands issuing more than 20. How many did Tesla issue? 11, which is tied for the fourth fewest alongside Honda. Furthermore, the vast majority of the automaker's recalls have little to do with it being an EV, but rather affect things such as the hood latch, warning lights, TPMS and Autopilot. They also include software updates as recalls, which further inflates the number.
