You’re not wrong.
Perhaps the third chart is the most enlightening; percentage of recalls volunteered by the manufacturer vs forced by the industry watchdog.

Re: Toyota, search for Toyota recall
They definitely do "free customer service and vehicle checks" my mum and dad bought a 2019 corolla and it's been back to the dealer 3 times for "not a recall" one was a potentially loose subframe bolt, one was a brake line issue and the other was a fuel pump issue. All voluntary by Toyota and not counted as officially a recall.

There's an argument that recalls are a sign of a manufacturer that cares about quality. Also, nearly all of these are in the U.S. and we all know that U.S. car manufacturing quality is awful.
Toyota make 10 million vehicles a year, how many have they made in total?
There's no way that 40% of Toyota purchases have needed warranty repairs.
Surely Tesla owners accept the recalls @Stonehedge because they want to be at the bleeding edge?
