Even though it is a small number, I recall FoMoCo CEO Farley saying to shareholders in 2023 that warranty [and similar costs] were too high, cutting into profits and HE was going to do something about it.

there are two schools of thought on addressing safety recalls.

one is acting quick regardless of the press cycle and addressing the issue.

two is dragging their feet and fighting while the accident count goes over 100 and injuries near 50 while the units effected count reaches 3 million (looking at you Honda, current investigation)
or fighting it until you're fined over a billion for inaction (looking at you Toyota)

wonder if these stock holders got the giggles over these unnecessary fines.

Toyota Motors – $1.26 Billion

Toyota Motors agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into whether the company hid safety defects related to unintended acceleration. Toyota also agreed to pay $48.8 million in 2010 and $17.4 million in 2012.

General Motors – $935 Million

General Motors agreed to pay $900 million in September 2015 to settle the criminal investigation into its ignition switch recall. In May 2014, it also agreed to pay $35 million to the NHTSA over the delayed recall.

Fiat Chrysler – $105 Million

In July 2015, a civil penalty of $105 million was imposed by the NHTSA for failing to complete 23 safety recalls of more than 11 million vehicles.

Honda Motor – $70 Million

In January 2015, the NHTSA fined Honda for under-reporting hundreds of death and injury claims in violation of the TREAD Act.
Does not include current investigation

BMW – $40 Million

The NHTSA in December 2015 agreed to a consent order with BMW North America for recall failures with the Mini Cooper. BMW agreed to a fine of $10 million, $10 million in spending to overhaul procedures and $20 million in deferred fines.

Ford – $17.35 Million

Ford settled an NHTSA investigation into the timeliness of its recall of certain Ford Escape because of a potential issue with a “stuck throttle” after the release of the accelerator pedal.

Hyundai – $17.35 Million

The company failed to timely notify regulators of a corrosion risk to 2012 Hyundai Genesis sedans because of their brake fluid.

Volvo - $130 Million

Volvo agrees to one of the largest-ever penalties for violations of the Vehicle Safety Act, NHTSA says. 2023
