Would it be cynical of me to suggest that Trek recalling a million bikes and offering $20million worth of compensation might be less about customer safety and more about setting a precedent and pressuring other manufacturers - some of whom will not be big enough to absorb the cost of a recall never mind the cost of compensation that customers will now likely be seeking - to follow suit?
