More Recalls

Once again this week we have heard about more recalls from the major car manufacturers. Does this make you skeptical at all about the safety of your own vehicle?

Auto recalls

I think most of these recalls are to avoid future lawsuits. Even though I'd rather have a worry-free vehicle, threats have always been with us with any innovations. Most vehicles are pretty safe if we handle them properly.

It makes me sick that a lot of the time the manufacturers know about the defects but send them out anyway because it is cheaper to send them out defective than to retool the machines to fix it beforehand. They operate on the assumption that they will most likely not face a lawsuit over the issue but will fix it "if they have to".

I guess you could look at it that they are being proactive about fixing a potential problem. But you're probably not far off the mark to think that they are just protecting their company against a lawsuit.
