Hell the de Havilland DH 106 Comet was allowed to
fly despite a massive structural defect resulting in
catastrophic damage, so what's a little fuel tank defect.

I'm not sure what the "defect" is. Yes a Cherokee's gas tank is between
the bumper and rear axle as it is on many vehicles. But I don't see a
whole lot of sharp pointy objects in the area to actually puncture the
tank and why only 1993-up vehicles when the Cherokee was made for ages
before that?

In any case I don't feel unsafe driving mine...

You wouldn't have seen the issue with the plane either.

Nor would you have felt unsafe driving a vehicle with a
non collapsible steering column.

And we all know that "feeling" safe = safe...

recalls have become both political and economic warfare tools. frod or
g.m. get cut huge amounts of slack on recalls - remember the wheels
falling off frods, and their not calling vehicles in for months citing
"low risk"? or their ignition modules cooking as a life limitation
decision, but no recall until the class action lawsuit actually
prevailed after years of courtroom drama?

yet if it's a foreign-owned vehicle, they're expected to recall for
having the wrong color shipping wax on the paint before dealer prep.
the whole system stinks.

In the grand scheme of things, the odds of me being rear ended hard
enough to have something actually move the metal enough to affect the
gas tank, AND it be punctured, AND there being an ignition source that
causes a big fireball before I can exit the vehicle are small enough
that I might as well worry about being abducted by aliens and anally probed.

This seems reminiscent of the same concerns the 73-up Chevy trucks
(of which both my grandfather and my father owned one, dad still does
and drives it regularly) and Crown Vics...

i had occurred to me that you might be so inclined.
