yep, everyone has recalls, it just that with shared platfroms, and shared components a potential recall can affect far more vehicles than in the past. also the number of issues that need to arise to trigger a recall is decreasing. GM issued a recall ont eh windsheild wiper motor/module on the envoy/trailblazer/reiner/bravada/ascender because a dozen crashes resulted form the wiper system losing interment settings. on all the vehicles produced on this platform (close to 1.7 million total IIRC) a very very small fraction of a single percentage was enough to trigger a recall.
Gm is currently mailing out flyers to specific c/K platform owners over a potential shearing of a pinch bolt for the steering shaft (the shaft is square shapped so even if broken it should maintane stearing ability)... customer with an affected vehicle are being offered free tows into the dealer for the bolt to be replaced. this was triggered by maybe a half dozen failures. basicly the rule of thumb with recalls is to bring in any vehicle that maybe affected, even if the percentage of failuers is limited to fractions of a single percentage.
