If you read into these recalls all of them obviously affected safety of cars on the road which is why the recall was initiated. Carmakers often know of issues for years prior to a formal recall. This is standard.

Not if the recall is safety relevant, the don't. Because there is only one car maker out there that intentionally plays with the lives of its customers and everyone who happens to be around one their cars.

    I mean all of them, but only one has made it a habit, a design philosophy even. And only one went so far to charge customers a premium for those features.
