According to Jason Levine, Executive Director of the Center for Auto Safety, cars are only placed under a federal recall if they have a dangerous defect or violate a federal standard. “These are really dangerous things that can injure and kill people and do all the time,” Levine said. “If you’re allowing federal employees to drive around in recalled vehicles, you’re not just putting the driver in danger, you’re putting everyone on the road who shares the road with those cars in danger.”
