Thanks for your comments, Mongoose. This is exactly why a recall needs to be done. As Allen has hyped on, not all states have mandatory safety inspections (in IL, certain counties and cities do, including emissions, but not all of them). While mandatory inspections are a good thing, it is not reasonable to try to cure this problem by enacting nation-wide mandatory inspection legislation. Rather, we need the recall.
