Why do recalls happen?
Recalls, such as Subaru's for incorrect weight labels, happen for various reasons, from manufacturing errors to design flaws or, as in this case, administrative mistakes on labels. They are a vital part of consumer protection, ensuring that vehicles on the road are safe and meet legal requirements, even if no accidents have occurred yet.
