Way to just dismiss my point with nonsense. OK. My mistake. Recalls of cars are under NHTSA, not CPSC. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/ The point is that cars *can* and *have been* recalled because of defects in computer-controlled systems. Here's 2 that 5 minutes with Google found. http://classaction.findlaw.com/recall/mv/nhtsa1/files/2000/pr36-00.html Hino Diesel Trucks (USA) Models: Hino FD2J Years: 1999-2001 Hino FE2J Years: 1999-2001 Hino FF2J Years: 1999-2001 Hino FB4J Years: 2000-2001 Number Involved: 1,848 Dates of Manufacture: October 1997 - June 2000 Defect: On certain medium duty trucks equipped with anti-lock brake systems (ABS) and air over hydraulic brake actuation, the ABS computer unit is faulty, which could increase braking distances, increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: Dealers will replace the ABS computer controller unit. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began July 31, 2000. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Hino Diesel at 1-845-365-1400. [NHTSA Recall No. 00V192] http://classaction.findlaw.com/recall/mv/nhtsa1/files/2003/pr06-03.html Mitsubishi America Models: Mitsubishi Outlander Year: 2003 Number Potentially Involved: 65,000 Dates of Manufacture: August 2002 - January 2003 Defect: On certain sport utility vehicles, during extremely low temperatures, ice can build up inside the engine throttle valve. This ice build-up could cause the accelerator pedal to stick or not to return to idle after accelerating. Failure to return to idle could result in a vehicle crash without warning. Remedy: Dealers will reprogram the engine control computer to eliminate this condition. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification was expected to begin during February 2003. Owners may contact Mitsubishi at 1-800-222-0037. [NHTSA Recall No. 03V028] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
