Safety recalls are the industry response to the unfortunate world of frivolous lawsuits. It makes for some entertaining reading to look through them with such statements as "frontal impacts of significant force could result in drivetrain components shifting resulting in fuel leakage and possibility of fire". Basically if you hit something hard enough you'll burst into flames. Duh!

So far my favorite is the one about filling the transmission to such a level it turns into a geyser of flaming death. I'm paraphrasing, of course.
