Before you read anything into the ranking
Models that sold in large numbers over many years collect more recalls than niche ones, and that says more about production volume than about build quality. A recall is also evidence that a defect was found and fixed at the maker's expense, which is the system working rather than failing.
The only question that matters for one particular car is whether its VIN sits inside an open campaign. Check on NHTSA's lookup or call 1-888-327-4236.
