Ignoring recalls, why?

Lots of recalls listed recently, but we only seem to be hearing about those from one car manufacturer. Why do you suppose that is?
from Automobile Recalls - Official US Government Database and Auto Recalls - View Car Recalls, Defects & Problems at InternetAutoGuide.com

Recent Major Recalls
Chevrolet express (2) recalls
2009 dodge (6) recalls for electrical, air bags, transmission, wiring
Suzuki Recalling Grand Vitara, XL-7 SUVs to fix accelerator cable.
Ford Escape Recall to Fix Seat Belt Problem
Volvo Recall to Fix Fuel Leak Problem
Chrysler recalls 438,000 Jeep Libertys
Ford Recalls 2001-2003 Windstar Vans
Nissan Recalls 2.5 Million Units Worldwide
Ignition Flaw Leads to Honda Recall
Subaru Recalls Some 2004 Models
Toyota Tacoma Pickups Recalled for Possible Fuel Leak

Did you know that the Porsche 928 had 23 recalls? Unimportant things like steering problems, vehicle speed control, brake failures, gasoline hoses, gas tank, etc.
It wasn't around that long, maybe that's why.

Yet the only thing we hear about lately are the recalls from toyota.
I didn't see a dozen threads from anyone on the recalls by ford, or volvo, or chrysler.
I didn't see anyone start a thread about the recall from nissan who recently recalled 2,500,000 vehicles.
Why is that?

Ford has had a record 4757 recalls.
Chevy has had 3524 recalls.
GMC? 2745
Dodge, 2599
Toyota? 669. All time.

Yet no one's missed a chance to post something negative about toyota.
Makes ya wonder about motive.
