The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has revealed that there was a spurt in the number of complaints against defects in automotive products in the year 2010. The Fuel Card news analysis team feels that this can be directly attributed to the fact that most people have learnt a cue from the massive recall announced by the Toyota Motors.
With some 8 million vehicles being recalled by the Toyota Motors, buyers and end users have found or renewed their confidence in user rights. This has enforced a quality regime that was hitherto unknown or unseen in major countries of the world.
The increase in number of defect complaints has had a positive impact on the overall industry because more and more automotive manufacturing companies that include the Ford Motors, Nissan Motors and even Chrysler have had no qualms in announcing recalls of different models for a variety of reasons.
Many analysts feel that this is just the onset of a better and more transparent automotive industry that will benefit the buyers in the long term and ensure tougher quality controls by automotive companies.
