Tesla Identified As Most Recalled Car Brand, Mercedes & Toyota Least - Lemmy.world

They really should disaggregate recalls fixed with OTA from recalls that need a physical intervention. Obviously Teslas almost always need an OTA

100%, this number is skewed by the fact that tesla will basically “recall” for any minor issue because it’s a simple software update, I imagine a lot of companies try to avoid recalls as aggressively and for as long as possible because it’s a significantly bigger burden on them

As everyone who watched Fight Club knows, it’s a simple calculation. If the costs of the recall exceed the cost for the expected lawsuits, they don’t do it.

An OTA update has essentially zero cost, so it’s even easier.
