“If an Indiana company makes the pedals that caused the recall, shouldn’t they bear the burden of all the cost of the recall? Shouldn’t it be their reputation that is sullied, rather than the auto manufacturer that trusted them?”
That would depend on whether the parts were made to print. It the parts were made as Toyota designed them, then Toyota would be at fault. If the parts are defective, then thee parts company is at fault.
That’s true.
