Recalls are not warranty mandated.. from what I have read.
I personally don't find it silly as it affects my passengers as well. |
Agreed that recalls and warranties not related.
My point here was the best warranty available, from Hyundai goes up to 10 years. Clearly it can be implied here that manufacturers are unwilling to stand behind their products for more than 10 years and us the consumers are happy with that. Funny enough BMW drivers are ok with the 4 year warranty (unless if you are willing to pay for more coverage). Why then should any manufacturer be required to foot the bill on any defect that goes beyond the warranty period or any period they have expressly stated that they are willing to stand by their product?
If I were a lawyer for GM/Toyota/BMW etc I would look into curtailing this silliness.
