The number of recall campaigns in 2017 dropped to 813 from a record 924 in 2016, NHTSA says.
Recalls peaked at 53 million cars and trucks in 2013, the year the Takata Corp. airbag inflator recalls expanded to include 19 carmakers. Those recalls alone are likely to eventually reach some 70 million vehicles.
