Then why are they recalling them?
- letitbeirie 5y ago> A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
- junipertea 5y agoBecause they are forced by NHTSA. I fully condone that btw.
- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoThey're not recalling them in the traditional sense. Tesla is not taking your car. They're just sending an OTA update that disables the behavior.
