It's actually not a bad thing, recalls doesn't always mean more or less issues. With electric systems you have access to much more debug data than with conventional cars as most components are electrical. On top of them most of these issues can be fixed with software updates.

As we have seen with GM ignition switch issue, automakers do math on what would cost them more, doing a recall or pretending the issue doesn't exist. Even though the switch itself cost pennies, the cost of going through dealerships put the cost through the roof.

Enter EVs with OTA software updates, even niche issues that most automakers would normally ignore now costs very little to fix. So while we may see more recalls on paper, cars are only going to become even more safer than ever before
