The most read articles about the 2023 recalls

The last week of the year is an excellent opportunity to look back. That’s why we’ve selected the ten articles from our archives with the most extensive reach – whether in the number of shares, Facebook comments, or views.

In addition, in 2023, we also started to monitor recalls announced by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). Here is an overview.

Another of our new features in 2023 was the launch of car-recalls.com, a website with recalls announced in the USA.
