What is the most recalled Reno year?

Based on NHTSA data, the 2005 Suzuki Reno has the highest recall campaign count (3 campaigns). However, the total count of campaigns is not the same as the number of defects — some campaigns are issued as expansions of earlier recalls.

Does a Reno recall mean my car is unsafe to drive?

Check the consequence field of each recall to understand the severity. If your specific VIN is subject to an open recall, contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
