    ah yes. Ford and saving money and fires…

    The article says that this is an extension of a recall from 2022 for the same problem, and that Ford says replacement parts are available, but its odd to me that they wouldn’t just replace them. I guess we’re still on risk calculation vs people freaking over a known reason that their car could catch on fire

      Yes. Human lives are just another data point for these companies.

      If it’s cheaper to have people die than to make things safely, we all know what they’re going to do.

      The solution is to create penalties that outweigh the profits.
