Traditionally, product recalls are a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" proposition for automakers. Companies that diligently raise a recall flag run the risk that their competition will use the recall as an example of their own brand's superiority; those caught hiding a known defect until it's too late are often crucified in the media. The public has softened its view of recalls in recent years, and a recall or two no longer labels a model as a lemon for eternity.

Wow more sensationalist MSN reporting for the lowest common dominator. I guess we should all be outraged over recalls totaling in the millions for such things as faulty tailgate cables and loose windshield wipers. If you breakdown the real hard stats very few people were injured or killed out of those millions of vehicles.

I’m still baffled and even outraged that MSN did not follow their style guide and put that in a 30 page plus “slideshow.”
