A times B times C equals X
Apparently X is more than the cost of the recall

Yeah recalls only happen when the projected cost of lawsuits is more than the cost of the recall.

Former Automotive engineer. This just isn’t true. Recalls are triggered by the government in many cases. I once had my personal car’s sun visor recalled because when any fault is present in over X amount of vehicles it triggers a mandatory recall. Similarly, they must recall anything overtly dangerous if im recalling my experience with Fiat-Chrysler’s law department correctly.
Ps. This system was also Tesla’s saving grace because they were so low volume for so long. Now, not so much.
