Good morning.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued their list of safety recalls.  It's nothing short of amazing that after building engine and electric powered vehicles for over 100 years that the human factor continues to create imperfect machines.

This week there are poor welds in seats.  Air bag troubles continue.  Wheels might fall off.  There are brake system problems.  Parts are missing in some vehicles.  Fuel leaks trouble some vehicles and there is much more.

Please review the list.  If your vehicle is affected by a recall, please have it repaired as quickly as possible.  Your life and the lives of other might be in jeopardy.

Have a safe motoring week!
