If you think that’s bad, try the ones where they found a safety defect in a vehicle that was still in the holding lot at the plant. The number of affected vehicles in customer hands is most likely zero, but they still have to issue a recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you guys understand what they're doing. They're trying to find all existing defects and fix them voluntarily now rather than wait until they're forced to recall them. A lot of these wouldn't even qualify for a forced recall by the ntsb. IF they've truly fixed a lot of the underlying root causes then this will mean a drastic reduction in recalls and defects going forward. They'll never be zero and there may be more older ones yet to be identified but it's not nearly as bad as it sounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 And finding the old ones now and understanding those issues helps to eliminate the same problems with new models going forward and helps to learn from their mistakes. At least in theory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Makes me wonder if flooding owners with recalls is actually destroying the importance of critical ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had several on my Bronco. Most of them don't have parts for months after sending out the initial recall notice. I'd have to imagine the casual customer will just ignore most of them until they come in for a routine service visit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for the most part *knocks on wood*! The two open recalls I have are the "low pressure fuel pump failure" and "front seat height adjust pivot bolt and link replacement". I don't know if they have a fix for those yet.... The only other issues I've had with it were a cracking top (replaced a while back), and lately I've had a squeaky brake pedal - had it fixed (they replaced the brake booster, can't remember what else they did) a month or two ago, and now it's doing it again, not sure why...
