I'm going to have to disagree with you here, John.
You simply cannot compare the two industries. Marlin must surely have details of anyone who has bought an affected kit from them which is probably not the case with mainstream manufacturers and surely a higher percentage of those vehicles would be in the hands of their original purchasers than if they were mainstream cars.

In addition, kitcar manufacturers (due to the microscopic market they are in, relatively speaking) cannot afford to risk anything in public relations terms.

GTM had a suspension failure recall. It was done within two days of the incident and that you hadn't heard of it is, I think, a testament to the efficiency with which it was dealt.

The details contained in this thread really have shocked me. It's not a good advert for the industry.
