Last year, a total of 3.5 million cars were recalled by various automakers due to safety concerns. This included 1.2 million vehicles from Company A, 800,000 vehicles from Company B, and 500,000 vehicles from Company C. The recalls were issued to address issues ranging from faulty airbags to potential brake failures. Additionally, Company D announced a voluntary recall of 300,000 vehicles to fix a software glitch that could cause engine stalling. These recalls were part of a broader effort by the industry to ensure the safety of consumers and comply with regulatory standards. The affected car owners were urged to contact their respective manufacturers for necessary repairs to prevent any accidents or injuries.
