日本车 recall more of political reasons

Before we conclude that 日本车 are all poorly built, let's ask ourselves following questions:

1. Is 日本车 the only one that has recall?
2. Is this the first recall ever happen to 日本车?
3. Why this recall has such high publicity?
4. There are 19 death caused by car issue. What's the default % from all the people who owns 日本车?
5. How many people had accident due to reasons are not car defacts?
6. Does every part necessary to be built by steel? If so, you probably need to drive a tank rather than car.
7. Some non-Jap car makers products will require frequent visit to dealership, even the warranty is free. Is that high quality?

I personally think this recall hype is 08's way of promoting US cars.
