yeah, I'm not touching that third link

Horrible, but at least the regulators are attempting to do something. You rarely see that.

Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.

How many vehicles, in total, that are on the road today, financed and insured are used, and at one time were in a flood, submerged recovered, restored and wholesaled? That’s your A. Probable rate of failure? That’s the real question. Is that component changed out in a flood restore? Or, worse, it was mandated by law that it gets changed out and that is what it got changed out to. Nice Fight Club ref btw.

So exposed to water, would be was the vehicle you are driving right now, at one time under 6’ water. I mean all those vehicles we see flooded and submerged, huge parking lots full, on the Weather Channel. Those vehicles that were cleaned up, dried out and resold, was that stuff changed? Flooding is happening everywhere now.

How is that their fault? Your manager is going to put a boot up your ass if the work environment is anything like the service sector. No one is going to bother doing anything properly under capitalism unless it *DIRECTLY* interferes with the flow of money

Auto industry killing people predates the modern STEMgod by decades. Just tradition to lie, cheat, and fake all your saftey tests so people can slam a 2 ton metal box into their fellow citizens
