In fact, police cars sold during municipal auctions are supposed to disclose whether the required retrofit has been performed on the vehicle.
Police cars are 140% more likely to be rear-ended at high speed, and 4 times more likely to be involved in an accident than a civilian car. For the gas tank to explode, it had to be involved in a high speed rear end crash.
Ford retrofitted 350,000 police interceptors with rubber shields and bladders because they are at far more risk. Put another car out there as a police vehicle in the quantity of the Crown Vics, and if not equipped with the bladder and shield you just might see the same thing.
It's a recall, not good but it happens. Let's see they gave me a 50$ coupon for my troubles and took care of the problem in 30 minutes. Geez if a company went out of business cause of a recall because of a quality control issue how would GM or Crysler be in business, oh yea 1,000,000,000$ & 1,000,000,000$ & 1,000,000,000$ & 1,000,000,000$ & 1,000,000,000$ & more & more & more 1,000,000,000$ & many more 1,000,000,000 of dollars of your TAX DOLLARS without which they would be completely out of business. Now Toyota will solve this problem without 1,000,000,000 & 1,000,000,000 of tax payer dollar's of that I'm sure.
I thnik its funny that the big 3 suporters think there vehicles only chance is to down grade totyta rather than the big 3 show they can build reliable vehicles.After seeing UAW members and management say on telvison that they sent out knopw defective vehicles for dealers to deal with;it just confrims the reasonong why people left the big 3. If anyhting that should have put them out of business;and launched a criminal investigation. Why would anyone go back to companies that knowingly sold them defective vehicles;I won't.By all right GM and Chrysler shoud be out of businesss for just that reason;except for the governamnt proping them up.

Under that standard, the Big 3 would have all been shutdown years ago.
Many recalls of defective vehicles came as a result of engineering issues known for years.
