I like that…pre-emptive recalls.

Agreed, others won't do anything unless there is a threat of a class action.

Thats fine.
Just don't think differently when Ford is making a recall.

There is a difference between doing before anything bad happens or waiting till you BBQ a few cars.......

I wasn't pointing to that specific incident.
But Tesla also having some BBQ with cars and no recall yet.

Anyways how do you find out between the pre-emptive recalls and the reactionary recalls?
Shouldn't they be rated differently?

Didn't Ford also get their recalls in because of a risk of fires before any barbecues actually happened? several times, too...
Do I contradict myself?

Thats what I thought initially as well.
If they were both pre-emptive why the bias against Ford?
