Vehicle life-cycle costs look at three factors: acquisition cost, resale value, and cost to operate.
Vehicle recalls can be a pain to manage, especially if you are a small fleet. You need to find time to schedule the repair, incur vehicle downtime while the vehicle is at the dealer, and you may need to transfer tools and equipment to other vehicles.
