초록

This paper investigates vehicle manufacturers' recall decisions, and their determinants in Korea. In particular, it identifies why some manufacturers are slow to issue recalls, while others are quicker. We find that vehicle manufacturers make recall decisions based on the degree of risk, expected liability, and recall costs from defective vehicles. We also find that all foreign manufacturers have longer pre-recall periods in the Korean market. They delay their recalls for about one to four years, compared to Korean manufacturers' faster-recalls. European manufacturers do not show any procrastination in the US market, but do in the Korean one; US manufacturers show the same pattern. Korean exporters do not procrastinate in the US market; however, US exporters do in the Korean one, and Japanese manufacturers have longer pre-recall periods in both markets. The fact that emission-related recalls have longer pre-recall periods than safety-related recalls could be indirect evidence on manufacturers' reluctance in recall issuance whenever possible.

Abstract

This paper investigates vehicle manufacturers' recall decisions, and their determinants in Korea. In particular, it identifies why some manufacturers are slow to issue recalls, while others are quicker. We find that vehicle manufacturers make recall decisions based on the degree of risk, expected liability, and recall costs from defective vehicles. We also find that all foreign manufacturers have longer pre-recall periods in the Korean market. They delay their recalls for about one to four years, compared to Korean manufacturers' faster-recalls. European manufacturers do not show any procrastination in the US market, but do in the Korean one; US manufacturers show the same pattern. Korean exporters do not procrastinate in the US market; however, US exporters do in the Korean one, and Japanese manufacturers have longer pre-recall periods in both markets. The fact that emission-related recalls have longer pre-recall periods than safety-related recalls could be indirect evidence on manufacturers' reluctance in recall issuance whenever possible.
