There always is that risk that if something bad happens and you knew about it and did nothing that you could get charged. A couple of years ago in this vicinity there was a guy who new that he had a bad wheel bearing and kept putting off getting it fixed while he saved the money. One day the bearing gave way, the tire came off his truck and struck and killed a person. He was charged with manslaughter when it was discovered that he knew that the bearing was bad and still drove the truck.
