General motors makes this argument hugely invalid.......Their new 2015 colorado had a recall BEFORE it hit dealer floors (well only 30-40 of them had been sold.....). They have so much faith in their new truck that they are trickling it into the market so if something does go ka-boom it wont be a big recall

At least shops are not playing off the bb creak as something foreign to them and they won't cover it because it is "something the owner must have done"
