I don't understand the problem, my new car had like 8 recalls in 2 years for problems that might happen, it's just normal

Your car had a recall because the wheels might fall off? Which one?
Specifically, this only affected red-edged premium alloy rims that were OEM made but not installed unless you bought them separately. Not an engineering issue with the vehicle so much as those rims may have had a manufacturing defect in certain batches.

The overly cautious recall announcement was promptly clarified to owners by dealerships, and impacted a small subset. (I have a Civic.)
