Not that it matters a lot - but we've subtlety moved from total worldwide sales (Tesla) to US sales (Honda). 1.5M is a much smaller fraction of global sales for Honda (~a third).
It's true that the hype cycle around Tesla might unduly inflate the seeming significance of this. It's also true that this is unquestionably a very large, very significant recall.
- slg 5y ago> we've subtlety moved from total worldwide sales (Tesla) to US sales (Honda). Fair enough. I will happily admit I am not an expert on global auto sales and was just Googling for information. But either way, I think the pattern is clear that car recalls generally don't garner much attention on HN unless they involve Tesla or some other interesting angle like the corruption and criminal behavior at Volkswagen.
