Increased Fines for Auto Defects

A proposal being considered by Congress would increase fines for automakers who delay the recall of defective vehicles. As we learned in the late 1970's with the Ford Pinto cases, auto defect recalls are determined on a cost-benefit analysis; their costs weighed against the benefit of yours and your family's lives. The potential of multi-million dollar fines for choosing to delay the recall of flawed automotive products may prove to be the motivation the automotive manufactures' need to do what's right. The proposal is part of a more comprehensive bill to reform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Should it pass, it would raise the maximum fines for car makers to $250 million from the existing amount of approximately $17 million.
