Top trending safety list

The ongoing GM recall scandal has thrown automotive safety into the limelight. However, despite recall numbers in the millions, sales remain unaffected. Is this because consumers don’t think it will happen to them, or that while the automotive media has widely reported on the issue, consumers are generally unaware of the issue? The Safety Institute, a US non-profit organisation that examines a variety of public health and safety issues at which other organisations may not be looking, has just released its first quarterly Vehicle Safety Watch List. The list is a culmination of the Institute’s Vehicle Safety Watch List Analytics and NHTSA Enforcement Monitoring Program.
