報告內容簡介：
This paper studies the impact of consumer complaint relevance and variety on the timing of product recall decisions. Using a car recall data set from NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) in the USA, we first measure consumer complaint relevance and variety by implementing text mining methods to analyse the content of consumer complaints and the description of the defects in the recalls. We then examine how consumer complaint relevance and variety impact the timing of recall decisions. We find that when the level of consumer complaint relevance is higher, a recall decision is made faster. And when the level of consumer complaint variety is higher, a recall decision is made slower. Such a relationship becomes stronger when the defective component that caused the recall is used in different car models or when the car models are older.
