I can honestly say, Hyundai/Kia are probably the worst when it comes to recalls, they are notriously good at ignoring common, major failings with their products.
They may have 5 or 7 year warrantys, but it doesnt change the fact there have been some real quality issues with the hyundai/kia group in the past which have been white washed due to the low sales volume.
Vauxhall have an average recall when it comes to safety issues, but vauxhall never seem to recall due to some pretty big and very common quality issues which afffect most customers.
And thats a major reason on a personal level and in my profesional life, I will never own a Vauxhall or procure a Vauxhall again.
When common faults where occuring across our fleet, they continued to point blank refuse to see it as a large quality issue (and in need of a recall), and tried time after time to point the blame at the individual cars and vans despite our senior fleet manager showing them how common the failures where in our fleet and in the case of the Vectras how common the failures where in our contract partners fleet as well.
How many CIM module failures do you need from every single vectra in a 30 car fleet for them to not accept its a quality issue which requires a recall instead of the usual excuses of wear and tear, 'one off' bad cars, etc.
And at a recent event, the Vauxhall fleet contracts manager couldnt grasp the fact they only ever get sales when they offer their vehicles at give away prices.
