A major reason they don't make the news is that many aren't that critical.
The most serious recall I had was for an electric harness that could catch fire (or cause a fire?), one of the least serious was a light (not a headlight or taillight, a light in the door that illuminated the ground and lower part of the vehicle when you opened it) would just stop working.
The former may have made the news, I don't know, the latter had no reason to. I've even had a couple (specifics forgotten) that were entirely aesthetic (interior, not exterior like issues with paint peeling, that was on a car from the 90s).
- iknowstuff 3y agoRight, but do you feel tesla changing icon sizes was critical?

- iknowstuff 3y agoHaha yes and the world is black and white
- PurelyApplied 3y ago> A major reason they don't make the news is that many aren't that critical. My favorite recall was the letter I got last year for 23V048000. The instructions for how to engage the defroster in my car manual were suboptimal. You actually _don't_ want it to be on full-blast. Please report to your nearest Nissan dealer to get a piece of paper to put in your car manual.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoMy Ford truck currently has a recall with an unknown fix. Axle bolts can sheer off, leaving only the rotors and caliper mount to keep the wheels on the car. But, you're right, most of these recalls are not "instant death machine you can't stop". While a fire can be dangerous, you will have time to react to that one.
- Jtsummers 3y agoTrue, but in the case of the one I had (and I forgot to mention) it was a fire when the vehicle was off. Definitely an urgent problem since this meant it could happen when no one was around.
