Yes and no.
Yes, because recalls are a good thing, because the manuf. has acknowledged the issue and is trying to address it.
No, because what glue sniffing idiot thought glue would be the best option, instead of just riveting the damn thing down, and never worrying about the pretty little piece of garbage coming loose and sticking the accel pedal down.
- jordanb 2y agoFasteners are very expensive from a production perspective because they take a long time to install. This is why products these days are designed to be assemble with conformal, friction, or snap fit as much as possible. Deciding to sub in fasteners in the production line would have involved addition of at least one new position in the line to install the fasteners.
- sonicanatidae 2y agoAgreed, to a point, but we're talking about the accel pedal in a vehicle with more torque than god. Glue is insufficient. It was insufficient with it was decided. It was insufficient when it was implemented and while I'm not a car designer, I can state that glue, in this case? Predictably insufficient.
