IMO, this isn't a safety issue worthy of a recall then.
Any component failure that pops up a warning and allows the driver to safely pull over to be towed for a repair is not a safety concern.
Obviously, users might expect more of an expensive car - but that's what warranties and consumer protection laws are for, not safety recalls.
- snailmailstare 2y agoIt's not clear to me if the light stays on, a PR department is likely to not be vague about something positive. Anyone used to past vehicles of similar size may expect less risk driving a car with no power steering to a shop (or just away from a risky place to be stopped).
