You're already downvoted, but this quote from Fight Club always annoyed me as it misunderstands how recalls work.

1. Insurance companies price in the risk, and insurance pricing absolutely influences manufacturers (see the absolute crap that the Big 3 sold in the 70s) 2. The government can force a recall based on a flaw whether or not the manufacturer agrees

How excusable is it that maybe it's the narrator misunderstanding it, or making stuff up while talking to the lady?

v2.0- Tesla drivers insure with Tesla and the recalls are all OTA software fixes.
