GE Microwave recall

GE is recalling 92,000 Microwave ovens sold between 2000 and 2003. If they were sold years ago, how did it take them so long to find out they are defective?

This is not a rare occasion. It happened many times before on different objects. Maybe a key part consistently fails after a few of years and not immediately. Keep in mind that frequently, it's the customers who find the malfunctions and defects. They report them to the manufacturer, which, in turn, decides whether to recall or not.

I agree with the first answer. It could also be materials that don't last as long as the manufacturer thought with the product was designed.
