is this the largest car recall in history? holy crap

edit: looks like no.. the largest was 578607 cars... also by Tesla lol




That's definitely not the largest.

Toyota, 2.9M: https://www.consumerreports.org/car-recalls-defects/toyota-r...

Ford, 21M: https://247wallst.com/autos/2021/07/24/this-is-the-largest-c...

Takata airbags, possibly 100M+: https://www.carvertical.com/blog/top-10-worst-car-recalls-in...

> Yet even after the company declared bankruptcy in 2017, the Takata recall kept on giving. 65-70 million vehicles with faulty Takata airbags were recalled by the end of 2019, with approx. 42 million still to be recalled.


The word recall is misleading. It’s a software update. My cars both updated last night. I’m guessing it was this patch. If that’s the case then the “recall” is probably largely already done.


well yeah if thats the case its not really a recall, agreed


Where do you anti-Tesla folks get your information? Just wow


Be nice. You fanboys aren't exactly batting a thousand with your points in this discussion either.
