Chevy recalls almost a million of their cars and trucks.
Ford recalls over 600,000 of their vehicles.

What is the problem with American made vehicles????

Nothing. Recalls DO NOT mean that all the vehicles will exhibit the problem. Recalls are preemptive. THUS, big recalls are actually evidence of a manufacturer having your back. It's when a manufacturer is not proactive--GM ignition scandal--that a reactive response happens.

I'm of the mindset that if a manufacturer issues a recall it's a good thing for consumers. 15 cars out of 600K had issues, but we're recalling 600K to make sure.

Most of these models have gone to scrape yards by now. I wonder how a claim can be made for a past crash when vehicle has been recycled.
