Folks, it has been a banner year for fails on the part of the world's auto manufacturers. 2014 might have been the high water mark for official NHTSA recalls, but if you include the 11 million vehicles Volkswagen is going to end up retrofitting, and the 14 million cars FCA voluntarily recalled for its 8.4-inch Uconnect issue, this is a record-setting year for cars returning to the dealership for fixes.
To celebrate the occasion, Ray and the Motorin' Tabernacle Choir present their rendition of that old holiday classic, "The 12 Recalls of Christmas," and we're presenting the information on all the recalls mentioned in the song. You can play the entire video at the end of this story. Special thanks to the Choir, which was composed of MIT students who all participate in MIT's many acapella groups: Jakob Weisblat (MIT Techiya), Jaqui De Sa (MIT Asymptones), Ayesha Bajwa (MIT Ohms) and Brandon Sanchez (MIT Logarhythms).

This one should go without saying, but Volkswagen (and Audi) were ensnared in a scandal regarding its TDI Clean Diesel-powered models, where the company employed software to cheat emissions testing by reducing the diesel's emissions only when the car was plugged-in to have its emissions tested. While NHTSA hasn't issued an official recall, Volkswagen is working on a fix for the cars that will involve as many as 11 million cars worldwide. Read more about the scandal at BestRide.com.
