Corporations these days are held far more accountable for their actions than they were say 30 years ago. Can you imagine Nissan reading the 'issues' in these forms and instituting recalls without any investigation on their part? It just doesn't happen in the real world and for good reason - they wouldn't make any money for the shareholders, likely go out of business and thousands would be left unemployed. This goes for all car manufactueres. But who am I to say, I'm not a corporate executive.

I saw an article just today on the MSN site that it took some US vehicle safety office to actually fly there and have a meeting with them to get them to acknowledge this and correct it. If that wasnt done and no public stuff was annonced I doubt it would have happen for a long time.
