Napansin ko lang, kaliwat kanang recalls lately.

Subaru, faulty valve spring
Mazda, faulty valve spring for skyactiv-D
Honda, 1.5T Cr-v

Di ba dapat as technology progresses, dapat less issues?

Or did we incorporate too much technology so much so that the cons already outweigh the pros?

Take a look at history, we have had more issues in our society from the 20th century on wards.

Maybe we shouldn't call it progress then.

We are regressing!

Progress has its price.

It is the same as money - more money, more problems.

In that case, i don't want to be rich. hehe

BTT: naisip ko lang, baka siguro maraming recalls is our engines now are extracting so much power from such small displacement engines.

Case in point,

FB20 - 268 hp - 134 hp/L
VQ37 - 350 hp - 94.5 hp/L
4G63 (FQ400) - 400 hp - 200hp/L

Now, let's go to passenger cars.

L15B7 - 174 hp - 116 hp/L
2ZR-FE - 128 hp - 71 hp/L

The difference in power is almost + 50% at half the displacement.

FB20 is only rated less than 160hp. The turbocharged FA20 can be tuned for more than 300hp.

The L15B7 is tuned to around 200hp as used in the newest generation of the Accord. Ford's new 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo engine is also rated at 200hp.
