Recalls Hit An All Time High In 2015 - Are Vehicles That Unsafe, Or Is This The Product Of Over Regulation?

U.S. vehicle recalls hit an all-time high in 2015 for the second year in a row as regulators cracked down on safety defects and automakers are became more proactive about reporting problems.

Automakers recalled a record of 51.2 million vehicles over 868 separate recalls in 2015, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration announced Thursday at the Washington Auto Show.

That narrowly edged the previous mark set in 2014, when manufacturers recalled 51 million vehicles through 779 recalls.
