Is this a MB recall?

New trucks that the Canadian army bought have creaked floorboads. So is this a recall?

"These cracks are of a cosmetic nature," said Beaudoin. "They have no impact on the structural integrity of the vehicle and no impact on occupant safety or mine protection. This is not a major concern at this point."

I hope he's right. Problem is, upper military brass in Canada also made the sub leave for it's first voyage under Canadian control and an electrical fire took the life of one of the crew. I just hope our guys aren't driving around in a vehicle that is armoured but can't do to the job. They're asked to do a lot with really old equipment in the first place, they don't need to be driving around thinking they've got a chance against mines when in fact they might not.

See the American GIs in Iraq are using scrap metal, scrap anything to shore up the unprotected Humvees against mines and bombs along the roads. At least the Canadian military is making the effort to protect her troups.
