GM does it with ignition switches, it costs less to buy a $1.00 defective switch, than to buy a good one for $1.25 per unit. The "gamble" is, will the defective ignition switch outlive the effective life of every vehicle they are installed in? If so, no foul, only profit, and a "get out of jail, free" pass, if not, deny any problems, put off resolution for 8 + years.
Fiord does it with every truck they sell, as 98 percent of all Ford trucks are still on the road...the other 2 percent have actually arrived home.
Back in 1995 I left my F-150 on route 81 in Scranton. Had it towed directly to a scrap dealer.
