10 New Vehicles With a Long List of Recalls

by Guillaume Rivard

Buying a brand-new vehicle or a completely redesigned model in the first year of a new generation is always risky as quality problems are more likely to occur. Oh sure, the manufacturer's warranty is there to protect you, but the experience can still be frustrating. It's best to wait a year or two until the engineers can fix most of the early issues.

Some of the problems that can occur early in a generation compromise safety and therefore require a recall. We've scoured Transport Canada's database and identified 3-year-old or newer models (MY2022-2025) that have been hit with the most recalls to date.

Here are 10 vehicles you should beware of:

Once the final repair is available, dealers will install an advanced diagnostic software that will monitor the high-voltage battery and warn you if it detects a problem.
