I fully agree with the rest of what you're saying, but that's simply not true.

Alas. Nevertheless, from the article:

>“We don’t think every vehicle has this rare manufacturing defect,” General Motors spokesman Dan Flores said. “But we can’t take a chance, so we’re recalling all the vehicles.”

I mean, that comes pretty close to be out of electric car making.

The same should happen to Bose. A total recall of all wireless headphones they ever made would be a good start.

PS: I'm spending more time in headphones than I do in my car; it's fair to hold them to the same standard.
