How to read this: older model years have had more time to collect complaints, and best-selling years have more cars on the road, so a bigger number is not by itself proof of a worse car. A recall is also a fix: once the free repair is done, that problem is handled. A recall listed for a model year does not mean a particular car is unrepaired. To check one car, look up its VIN. NHTSA sometimes files a model year under a different name (a cab style, a trim or a hybrid version). We combine the names we can match, so a year with very few complaints may have more filed under a name we missed.
