it's not the crime, it's the cover-up.

The vast majority of recalls are factory-initiated affairs over minor engineering and manufacturing flaws.

When there is a significant safety flaw AND the factory does not address it immediately and openly, it becomes a media event. Add a bit of cover-up, it becomes big.

That's why Toyota is in the news and the vast majority of other recalls are not.

I realize we live in a time of sensationalism and general paranoia with the need for scapegoats to fulfill our wild fantasies heard on storytime radio, but sometimes there are real reasons why things are the way they are.
