It happens in the automotive industry with a striking regularity. Cars, trucks, vans, even SUVs are recalled because of defective parts. Recently it happened to me. I received this letter from the Ford Motor Company. “Dear Mr.Ed Young. This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicles Safety Act. Ford Motor Company has decided that certain 1999 super duty F250 and F350 trucks failed to conform to Federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301. During fuel system integrity testing, fuel may leak at a higher rate than allowed by regulation. Call your dealer without delay. Ask for a service date and whether parts are in stock for safety recall 99F11.”
When I received this letter, I didn’t ignore it. I got the problem fixed. A thinking person wouldn’t entertain the thought of ignoring a recall letter. Today I want to talk to you about something that is defective, about something that needs to be recalled. It is not about an automobile. It is about something much more important than that. It is about dating. Most of the dating that is done today is defective. Think about it. Would you drive a defective car? Would you tool around in a car that has a part that could endanger your life and the lives of others? No, you are saying to yourself. Yet far too many of us date in a defective way endangering our lives and the lives of others.
