Toyota says it has recalled 5.6 million vehicles in the U.S. over unintended acceleration.
But Toyota’s recall -- while massive -- isn't nearly the largest, so far ranking No. 4 on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s hit parade of top recalls in the agency’s history.
Domestic manufacturers dominate this list, but it’s simply a matter of mathematics: Many of the biggest recalls are from the agency’s earlier years, and import brands at that time simply didn’t sell enough autos in the U.S. for any recalls to cover a large number of vehicles. Now that they do, they are earning places on the list too.
