18 recalls across 5 models
Lada has 5 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1978 through 1995. Across those models, 18 recall campaigns are recorded, with 39% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls involve defects with the potential for loss of vehicle control, fire, or serious injury, while High tier recalls represent significant safety concerns that fall just short of that threshold. The remaining 61% of Lada's recalls land in the Low tier, which covers defects with a more limited potential for harm. There are no Medium or Informational recalls in the lineup's record.
The SAMARA carries the highest recall count in the lineup at 8 campaigns, making it the most-recalled model by a notable margin. The 1500S and the NIVA each follow at 4 recalls apiece, accounting for the remainder of the activity alongside the two other models in the database. The 18 total campaigns are distributed across a relatively narrow production window, with all recall activity concentrated within a span of fewer than two decades. The 3 Critical recalls and 4 High recalls in the record span the full range of the lineup's coverage years, from 1978 through 1995.
