SUMMARY:11th Annual Automotive Recalls Summit
DESCRIPTION:Held in partnership with: \n \nThe number of vehicles affected by recall in the U.S. in 2023 was the highest we have observed in the past decade. Moreover\, 2023 saw a near-record number of automotive light vehicle recalls\, second only to 2021. Yet\, the average recall size remained stable from 2022. Still\, 2023 saw multiple recalls affecting more than 1 million vehicles.
