It's disgusting. I thought along similar lines as the story unfolded. Still can't believe that human life often enters into a bean counter equation when a defect begins to reveal itself; "how much to recall/rework, vs. how much to just let it go and deal with settlements". "Oh the humanity...the shareholders...the stock price...the bottom line..." I know this is nothing new and not a practice limited to GM.
