The prevalence of recalls in recent years contributes to a significant, yet unnecessary, expense for manufacturers and an added burden on single-source suppliers. During the first six months of 2014, U.S. automakers hit a record high with the total number of recalls reaching 39.85 million vehicles. During the past five years, 12 million vehicles have been recalled for a faulty airbag inflator, affecting nearly every major automaker—Acura, BMW, Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, and more.

A suggestion : Is it possible

A suggestion : Is it possible to get day and date and time of travel  to appear in spedometer or any where with a special attachment just like in a mobile to trace minute details of vehicle driven which could be a recorded one and when ever needed can be retrieved with details of timing of each drive. .

Ice fishing safety improvements

I wish there was a way to implement a air bag deployment system for all terrain vehicles. It could be set up like air bags that deploy once a vehicle registers impact on both bumpers and side rails. Sensor would detect the impact or a dramatic shift in vehicle positioning as in going through the ice. May be turned on when needed or added as an extra safety feature. Feel free to contact me at anytime.
