6. Brands named most often in recall notices
Brands or recalling companies with at least 10 notices since 2024-11-11 (24 months), exactly as printed in the agencies' notices; spellings are not merged across agencies (“FORD” in European notices and “Ford Motor Company” in U.S. notices are separate rows). A count of notices reflects how much a company sells, how many models it makes and how actively agencies and the company report — it is not a measure of safety. One recall can produce several notices: some agencies publish one notice per product or per country. Each brand links to its scorecard with every notice listed; each count names the agency that published it.
