Ford has recalled a large number of vehicles this year; though some claim that it may a good sign, Autoblog reports.

This year, Ford issued 54 recalls affecting 5,692,135 vehicles. Prior to a recent Honda recall for 2.5 million Hondas and Acuras this past week–putting them at a total of 6.3 million recalled vehicles this year–Ford had the highest total of recalled vehicles, coming out to more than double the total of Stellantis, who followed behind Ford.

Though General Motors did recall more vehicles, it was spread throughout different companies within GM’s portfolio. Honda’s recent recall this week was the single largest recall issued this year, while Tesla notably issued a massive recall for over 2 million of its vehicles due to issues with its Autopilot feature.

While most automakers issued recalls for issues related to electrical systems, Ford’s recalls predominantly involved powertrain issues.

Though the number of recalls for Ford is large–and is an increase from 2021, which saw 53 recalls covering 5.4 million vehicles–it is an improvement from this time last year. In 2022, Ford issued 68 recalls that affected over 8.7 million vehicles. 

An industry expert who recently spoke with Automotive News remarked that the high number of recalls is not necessarily negative, in that it displays an effort to address every issue, no matter how minor.

Regardless, Ford is making an effort to reduce the number of recalls, such as improving its manufacturing procedures and implementing additional quality control practices.
