Exactly. A recent example is the Chevy recall over three minor fires due to oil accumulation taht spills over onto the exhaust in hard braking. Due to these three piddling fires millions of vehicles to be recalled and lots of bad press. Where was the bad press when Toyotas electric locks were going crazy and continued to apply power to lock the locks preventing the driver from unlocking the doors and then due to the high current setting fire to the lock motors?? That was barely mentioned in the news.
