I spent years in Reliability. I can tell you they’d have known of these issues long ago. They chose not to address them earlier. I’m certain an engineer told them how much extra it would cost for each additional month. You can bet they begged off to wait for the time when it was politically okay to recall. Apparently, quite a few deaths occurred in the meantime. This has the potential to finish GM in a flurry of lawsuits. They probably feel to-big-to-fail and that Obama has their back. That may be so, but if the Whitehouse steps in to save their bacon the Democrats will take another one on the chin.
