[2020] Honda PH issues recall (faulty fuel pumps)

[12vdc]

What denotes a recall? Does it mean that the quality control of the car company is not good? Or the company is just honest to accept the factory defect on certain part and try to correct the defect at their own expense? Ever since, I only hear Honda tried to announce a recall and do correction without charge. Does it mean that other brands are perfectly made where they have no recall issues?

Safety issue triggers a recall. Usual culprit are parts supplier that didnt went thru stringent testing and quality control, design flaw. Nobody is immune to flaws, some are mechanicaly fine but physically ugly and boring-nobody's perfect.
