Where all the German quality has gone: the most "revocable" auto brand of 2024 has been named

Mercedes is the car brand with the most reviews in 2024. Therefore, car market experts around the world are asking a logical question about where the famous German quality has gone? What the publication informs about Profit.Ro .

In the rating of brands with the largest number of car recall campaigns for reasons related to passenger safety, the first place in 2024 was taken by the premium brand Mercedes-Benz — a brand that regularly got into this rating in previous years. The German firm has launched at least 24 campaigns through the European notification system, targeting 23 models, both of current production and older generations.

Most of the complaints were about the C-class and GLE models — five reviews of each of them. According to the KBA alert system, the German federal transport authority, the number of campaigns launched against Mercedes cars is even higher — 43 recalls.

Therefore, BMW's direct competitors have achieved the unofficial title of "the most recalled model in service in 2024" by introducing a third-series model in which a total of seven possible defects have been identified. In turn, BMW took second place in the ranking in terms of the number of possible defects. A total of 23 campaigns covering 21 brand models were recorded here.
