Having googled a bit, it seems it happens to the best of them. 5900 Lambos recalled due to risk of fire,10,000 Ferrari recalled for brake failure issues, 1000 Ferrari recalled for life threatening airbag issues. Lotus had recalls due to issues with oil cooler connectors/risk of fire, Porsche recall 4500 EV Taycan for sudden power loss, and so on.......

One wonders if it is an indication of the poor quality of modern global manufacturing?

Are the CX rads made in house, or bought in? I know in visits in the 80's I watched rads being built, but don't recall seeing that in my visit this year.

How many of the M3W issues were down to poor quality assembly at MMC, or a result of bad design and/or problems with quality from suppliers?

I fully understand the frustration and disappoint of CX owners, but it seems to be that this is a blight of many of the smaller sports car manufacturers due to the need to outsource so much of the manufacturing process.
