Thats one way to look at.
Another is that pre-bankruptcy GM didn't recall these vehicles, and post-bankruptcy has. Its hard to deny that because, well, thats what happened. Unfortunately, we can't really demonize anyone with statements like that -or applaud anyone. So what if ...
Alternatively, you could say that when the bean counters & professional manager managers were in charge, they tried to sweep this under the rug. With engineers at the helm, they're working to set things right -regardless of what it means for the stockholders. Thats probably a load of BS, but I wouldn't be surprised if at least 1 media outlet runs a story to that affect (if they haven't already).
Personally, I say its just one of those statistical anomalies that, however unlikely, are bound to happen every now & then. Just like how you can go months or years without hearing a particular phrase, then you read and/or hear it 3 times in a single day. Random chance causes clusters, and people often mistake clusters for patterns (hot/cold streaks in sports or gambling for example). As such, it likely means very little and should probably be ignored & let the focus shift to more important things. I should add, I'm saying that the co-occurance of the recalls are the random thing to be ignored, not the recalls themselves.
