Biggest Recalls of 2013
February 6, 2014
Cars are just like any machine -- sometimes during the manufacturing process, something goes wrong and later on manufacturers need to let owners know about it so they can get them fixed. The problem is that some manufacturers seem to have more issues than others.Cars.com recently put together a list of the 10 largest recalls we saw in 2013. At the top of the list is a recall issued by Chrysler for 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Liberty models, which affected about 2.7 million vehicles. Another large recall we saw in 2013 was a tire recall issued by Michelin, which impacted about 1.2 million vehicles.
