Pardon me for being redundant, but the last time I posted this was in another thread about failure-prone 6.2L V8s from last year.
Tyler Durden was explaining his former job as a 'recall coordinator' for a 'major automobile manufacturer to another passenger.
His job was to apply 'The Formula' - should we initiate a recall?:
"Take
the number of vehicles in the field - A
multiply by
the probable rate of failure - B
then multiply (A*B) by
the average out-of-court settlement - C
(A*B)*C = X
"If 'X' is less than the cost of a recall ... WE DON'T DO ONE."
Funny thing is, the schidty cylinder (valve) deactivation hardware isn't even the problem here!
