Optimus Prime

Lost his whole team to recalls.

first thought too. LOL!

Poor Optimus. This must be one of the 17 times in canon he has died.

...installing crappy ignition switches isn't a safety issue, eh?

- Well other than potentially disabling the power steering and brakes and possibly causing a driver to lose control, it's a minor fix.

Sticking with GM.

It's probably your first because American car companies have been covering up problems for 10 years or so. At least Honda supports their product once it leaves the assembly line..
(Honda did an ignition switch recall in 2002, around the same time GM was covering up their switch problems..)


Honda recall:
Safety Recall: Ignition Switch
(Supersedes 02-031, dated August 2002)
BACKGROUND
Electrical contacts in the ignition switch can wear
prematurely due to high electrical current passing
through the switch. Worn-out ignition contacts could
cause the engine to stall without warning. Although the
engine will restart in most cases, a vehicle that stalls
while driving increases the risk of a crash.

I mean, is the ignition key unusually low in this car?
