Could we have a little more in-depth analysis than "I saw fight club?"
I didn't see fight club, fyi. Not sure what you mean. Are you under the impression that the recall decision is more complex than that? Most bugs are fixed in the next model year or ignored.
I have been involved in automotive recalls as a quality engineer and believe it or not things have advanced in the last 40 years and this is no longer how recalls are handled. In fact the cost of the recall is usually one of the last things discussed after the decision has already been made.
