Ford Australia has still not committed to recalling Kuga 1.6 models — unlike in South Africa, where it has done so — despite several engine fires being reported locally.
Instead, Ford Australia says it is still speaking with affected owners (several of whom we have referred to higher levels of the company) and “investigating” whether it needs to call-in all Kugas with this engine for a fix.
First, some background. Ford’s South African division last week announced a recall on about 4500 Kugas after numerous reports of spontaneous fires starting in the engine bay, speculated to be a result of poor coolant circulation.
The vehicles in question all use the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which was sold in Australian versions of the Ford Kuga as well. Moreover, both the South African and Australian-market Kugas came from the same plant in Spain.

“将这辆车的数量A，乘以故障几率B，再乘以官司需要的费用C，A乘以B乘以C等于X，若X小于善后处理费用的话，我们就不做车型的回收。”
“这种意外很多吗？”
“多到你无法相信。”
“你是哪家汽车公司的？”
“很大的那家。”

进步了。
发动机舱着火比屁股底下的油箱着火生还几率大多了

生还几率不属于ABC里任何一项，所以跟是否召回无关

估摸着烧死了C会大一点？

Thank you for the info but what suggestions do you have for the owners?

死不死和赔多少关系不大。不是还有撞死比撞伤更划算的说法么
相比之下，C和法律对车厂的严格程度关系更大
同样的车同样的故障为啥在有的国家召回有的国家不召回？在召回的那些国家打官司更贵呗
