In Michigan, a recall is an important safety signal, but it isn’t automatically a settlement. Insurance companies and manufacturers often argue that:
- the recalled model/batch wasn’t actually the one involved,
- the warning or defect didn’t cause your particular injuries,
- your injury resulted from installation, maintenance, or use that differed from what the product requires.
For South Lyon families, the practical challenge is that everyday life moves fast—work schedules, school pickups, and home responsibilities can delay documentation and medical visits. A claim can weaken when key details (product identifiers, incident timing, photos, or early symptom descriptions) are missing.
