Funny enough BMW drivers are ok with the 4 year warranty (unless if you are willing to pay for more coverage). Why then should any manufacturer be required to foot the bill on any defect that goes beyond the warranty period or any period they have expressly stated that they are willing to stand by their product?

If I were a lawyer for GM/Toyota/BMW etc I would look into curtailing this silliness.
The airbag systems on the cars affected with this recall are manufactured by Takata. Did it maybe cross your mind that Takata will be required to foot the bill. Just saying.
