Yes. We've made a career out of exposing them.
To be accurate, in theory a warranty problem is less than a safety issue. They wait until you go in to find out about it. With a safety issue they have a duty to go out and get you, not wait until you have the problem. Occasionally there is overlap, because companies will try to make a problem disappear by fixing in onesies and twosies instead of actually doing a formal program. I think the company behaviour around that is much better now than it was, say, 10 years ago.
