  I'm a recall coordinator. My job is to apply the formula.

  Take the number of vehicles in the field, (A), and multiply
  it by the probable rate of failure, (B), then multiply the
  result by the average out-of-court settlement, (C). A times
  B times C equals X...

  If X is less than the cost of a recall ... we don't do one.
