Talk:Product recall

message: First an excerpt:
From: Fight Club, 1999, Fox
 JACK (V.O.)
 I'm a recall coordinator. My job is to apply the formula.
 ....
 JACK (V.O.)
 Take the number of vehicles in the field, (A), and multiply it by the probable rate of failure, (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of- court settlement, (C). A times B times C equals X...
 
 JACK
 If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
 
 BUSISNESS WOMAN
 Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
 
 JACK
 Oh, you wouldn't believe.
 
 BUSINESS WOMAN
 ... Which... car company do you work for?
 
 JACK
 A major one.
Does anyone know if a procedure like this is actually used to determine whether to recall a product? Which profession would be used to make such a decision (e.g. an actuary?). If this sort of thing is the case, I think a new section should be made for the article.

thread_title: Decision to recall

message: "In the case of a compulsory recall, consumers who fail to dispose of it or return it to the manufacturer for replacement or refund could be fined for as much as $5000."
Is this true? I'm not sure whether or not to remove it. 'FLaRN'(talk) 22:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I deleted the paragraph
"A good example is the recent recall of over 500,000 Toyota Tundra pickup trucks. The Tundra had a ball joint problem which resulted in 11 accidents, forcing the manufacturer to attempt to right the problem.[1]
Toyota has never had a mandated recall.  TMS always repairs their vehicles before the government mandates action.  This is not a good example.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.177.12.38 (talk) 15:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  What is this 

message: Add Ford's 2008 recall of 16 million 1992-2003 model-year vehicles with cruise control deactivation switches that spontaneously caught on fire; that recall was much larger than Toyota's gas pedal recall and it spanned over 18 years. 
Also, add Honda's 2009 recall of 1 million 2001-2003 model-year vehicles with driver's side air bags that deployed so aggressively that the inflator ruptured and sent metal fragments into the passenger compartment.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.28.48.35 (talk) 09:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: For readability, it seems that the list of product recalls could be moved to an appropriately named list article (List of Product Recalls, perhaps), and this article simply discuss in prose the topic itself (and perhaps a few highlights). Right now the layout is pretty obnoxious, in my opinion. Thoughts? Dbsseven (talk) 01:36, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
