Don't forget how many recalls are "Next time you replace this part, it will be replaced with a new version that doesn't have the defect" or how many recalls are "A tech will look at the part and then do nothing because your part is fine" or "A tech will weld the part that is currently on your truck" or "Be aware this part may fail ahead of schedule and if it does it will suck, but you don't technically have to replace it right now so we don't have to cover the cost"


My all time favourite[0]

I recall getting a recall notice from GM that included "until repaired, remove key from keychain".
