Comments
Another never ending recall from Fird, when will they end?
Never my dear Schlocko; it’s the nature of the business.
After prevention, the next most important thing about defects is how you handle them so that the customer is protected, inconvenience is minimized and the customer recognizes your contrition and feels valued. (We saw, at the supplier level, that dealing with a defect quickly, professionally, and accepting responsibility actually improved the customer relationship.)
HA! Probably never…
At least Ford is recalling their vehicles, instead of sweeping it under the rug.
