Aren't we being a little harsh on MMC? ... the brake issue is down to a defect on a bought in item (and I think it effects other companies as well) .... not like they went for the cheapest deal in brake parts from China on ebay ... recalls are a fact of life for all modern car companies ... can't think of one major firm that's never had one?
Annoying for the owners ... but a fact of automotive life in our litigation happy world.
