I wonder if the fine will be as hefty as the one that DOJ just dealt Toyota?

I wonder if they’ll even be fined.

It’s weird they kept the part number the same, looks like deception to me but maybe not.

They may not have known it was causing the ignition to shut off. It could have just been an improvement to a part, “kaizen”. Or maybe parts did not meet spec, in which case there is a QA problem. Or maybe the specs were revised due to continuous improvement process or discovery of shut-off problem. These things need to be determined.
