| Nissan | Micra/Sunny | 2013/May | Brake System | 21,000+ |
| Ford | Figo | 2012/Aug | Steering & Suspension | 120,000+ |

| Maruti | A Star | 2010/Feb | Fuel Tank | 100,000+ |
| Honda | City Sedan | 2010/Jan | Power Window Switch | 8,000 |
Disclaimers from our Googlers:
- Does not include Global re-calls where Indian market was un-affected
- Maruti recall numbers are way higher than the true impact on domestic market as some of these were global recalls.
So which is the most recalled brand? Maruti/Honda/Ford 🙂
