No 7. Volkswagen, 1972 (3.7 million vehicles)
This recall was because of faulty windshield wipers. This vital component of the vehicle used to break off after becoming loose. Although this was a small problem but nonetheless needed to be addressed. So 3.7 million vehicles including the famous Beetle went back into the factories to have their wipers replaced. The consumers were not seriously affected by this recall.
