"Park outside" recalls in particular are issued when there is a fire risk with the vehicle, which could spread to a home or other structures if parked in a garage. CARFAX estimates 2.5 million cars nationwide have these serious unresolved recall repairs, despite federal authorities and car manufacturers trying to get the word out.

I also think recall fatigue is a real thing."For example, many Takata airbag recalls are listed as "do not drive," but those recalls have been going on sinc...
