[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1428843, member: 44954"] TSB's, also known as silent recalls. The difference comes down to lawsuits, TSB's generally don't pose a safety risk, so the liability is small. The issue doesn't generate enough lawsuits to warrant a public announcement, so they keep it hush hush. The problem is that if you don't get your car serviced by a dealership (and persistently complain after doing your own research), you'd never know. "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.. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one." -Jack [/QUOTE]
