Man Buys Ford Bronco, Immediately Gets Recalled, Then Uses Recall Notice to Get Out of Speeding Ticket—Cop Agrees It's a 'Manufacturer's Defect' AITA? TL;DR: Bought a '23 Bronco, got a recall for loose roof bolts. Got pulled over doing 85 in a 65, handed cop the recall notice as 'proof of vehicle instability,' and he let me off with a warning. My wife says I'm an idiot for 'weaponizing corporate incompetence.' I think I'm a genius.
