Abstract

Recently the National Highway Traffic Administration changed its policy concerning the public announcement of safety‐related automotive recalls. This paper examines whether consumers continue to use recalls as an input in their decision to purchase an automobile. It was found that over the 1977‐81 period, severe recalls adversely affected the demand for the model recalled, while benefiting substitutes of other manufacturers.
