Since the adoption of voluntary code of recall in July 2012, which was rolled out by SIAM in India; more and more automakers are recalling vehicles to correct the defects in their respective products. Influenced by the sudden surge in recalls after its acceptance and highlighting the importance of recalls, this study attempts a trend analysis for the Indian market that would be first of its kind. The research uses secondary data from automotive related websites maintained by public and private organizations. The study shows that the recalls have affected almost all the auto OEMs in India. The extent to which the carmakers must face the unwanted recalls can be indicated by recall rates. The recall rates can be a useful tool to assess the process performance in the car design and production chain. Results of automobile recall trends will be beneficial for the carmakers, government agencies, trend analysts, insurance companies and researchers.
