The real follow-up question to Chinese recalls is this:

Did any of the rectification or correction procedures for the automotive shortcomings include execution for hooliganism?

Because this is Jalopnik, there's a strong anti-Chinese bias in this piece. The reason Honda had the biggest single recall probably has to do with the fact that China's domestic industry really isn't up to speed yet and so a very big percentage of the Chinese sales is joint partnerships with foreign companies. I'm at a loss to explain the bit about Mercedes though, but I guess their quality in China is no different than their American quality; I have friends with Mercedes-Benzes and it seems engine failures before 60,000 miles is quite common. This supposedly isn't normal, but it seems to be a rule among my group of friends.

@LionZoo: So, after reading your note, can I infer that 'bias' = truth/fact?

@LionZoo: I'd say it has more to do with Honda being an international corporation, and having to take basic safety precautions or answer to the wrath of its parent company.

Just a guess.

@karlsl: That's the sort of mess a car usually looks like after its a) about 30 years old, and b) parked in my barn halfway through a transplant of a malfunctioning wiper motor.

I think something got lost in translation. I believe that should be 1.84 million different products from china have been recalled.
