the claim

A recession always causes deflation.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a recession always causes deflation?

Partly. Evidence is mixed and only partial: some sources describe recessions producing falling prices (Japan 2009, crisis price corrections), while others note prices merely decelerate in downturns and that deflation can occur without recession (Hong Kong). None establishes the universal 'always' claim.
