I believe I heard that Chrysler will add a tow hitch that will help protect the gas tank.
No doubt a NHTS negotiated cheapest way to go.

 

 

If the cost of the recall is greater than the potential law suits then they recall usually. In this case I guess they will simply hire more lawyers

 

I think this is a typo.....did you mean lesser?

Although some states have tort-limits on what can be awarded in civil suits, there often is little or no way to predict in advance what a jury might or might not award in a case (although, IMO, Ford deserved the huge fines/payouts that juries socked them with in the Pinto cases). Not only that, but government-mandated recalls are usually not based on cost (or potential cost). They are primarily based on whether the bureaucrats at DOT or NHTSA consider the issue to be a safety-matter or not....or, in some cases, a fuel-economy or emissions matter involving Federal regulations.
