I've done loads of stories about recalls.
Like this one.
And this one.
Then there was this one.
And of course this one.
And this one.
Closely followed by this one.
All of them suitably stupid.
Like today's one from drive.com.au
Remember when LDVs were British?
Well now they are Chinese.
And 932 of them are being recalled due to a faulty Website.
I'm not too sure we should be using the word "recall" every time. The Tesla one involved a software drop and this one involves owners throwing away any specification sheets obtained from the LDV Automotive website.
We should have Recalls, Patches and Booboos.
This particular Booboo, could result in "increased braking distances and/or reduced braking performance" or "reduced steering response which may lead to the vehicle to rollover."
And apparently, "A reduction or a loss in braking performance, a reduced steering response and/or vehicle rollover could result in a serious accident to the vehicle occupants or other road users that can lead to severe injury or death."
Death by website.
