Review recalls for root causes

When to use it

Weekly or monthly, to cut repeat visits.

The prompt

Copy this, then replace everything in [brackets].

Analyze our recalls.
Recalls: [list: date, tech initials, original repair, recall reason, equipment brand/age]

Group by cause (missed diagnosis, part failure, install issue, customer education), spot patterns by tech or repair type, and suggest 3 fixes (training, checklist, part supplier).

Before / after

Before: Recalls blamed on ‘bad parts’ forever.

After (example output):

Pattern: 5 of 9 recalls were capacitor replacements on units 12+ years old; 3 of those also had a weak contactor. Fix: add a contactor check to the capacitor repair checklist. Tech pattern: 4 of 9 from one tech, so schedule a ride-along.

Tips

• Look at patterns, not blame.
• Use tech first names or initials in prompts.
• Coach behaviors, not personalities. Ask the AI to keep it specific.
• Review every draft before you send it. You’re accountable for what goes out.
