Carwatch Weekly 2026 CW 38
Rivian has taken the top spot on our latest list of major recalls, involving nearly 100,000 vehicles. However, they are not the first to face a recall due to rearview camera issues. Seat rarely appears in the top 10, but this time it ranks second, with just under 43,000 affected vehicles in Germany. Land Rover North America comes in third, with 24,000 affected units across the Defender, Discovery, E-Pace, F-Pace, and Range Rover models in the US.
