A recent study by Recall Masters reported that each day there are 955,368 used cars for sale. Of this number, 36,105 are cars with open Recalls on them. Sixty-two percent of these cars have active recalls that require attention, which means your safety and the safety of your passengers may be at stake. When we looked at the most common culprits behind the recalls, we found topping the list at just shy of seven percent is the defective hood latch.
