Recalls -ETCG1
GM ignition switch recalls have been in the news lately and I thought I would make this video addressing recalls in general. This is not a slam of any particular manufacturer, it’s just a discussion about recalls and their effect on the vehicle buying public. It’s a tragic event when someone looses their life or is seriously injured as a result of a mechanical failure of their vehicle. The manufacturer of that vehicle has a certain obligation to that person as well as anyone else that purchased the effected model. Especially if they new about the defect ahead of time. I’d like to think that manufacturers do their best to avoid these issues but it seems sometimes their motivations are in question. What are your thoughts?
