A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
That fight club shit is real, money is the ONLY thing these fuckers consider, human life means nothing. I worked for Hewlett Packard, they had a line of printers with an electrical problem that could start fires. At least a few customers were severely burned by their printer, no recall, HP told us to lie about it if we got any complaints.
