This had nothing to do with how much the detent cost.
The question was how much it would cost to retrofit that part in cars
that were already sold simply to protect stupid people..

It has been said that you can't fix stupid. GM's biggest failure was
going into denial/coverup mode.

At the time, they simply did not have the $3 billion to recall all of
those cars. They were already bankrupt. They just were not admitting
it.
It is hard to say this was all about profit when the company had not
made a profit in years.

They would look a lot less culpable now if they had analyzed the
problem and issued a warning about oversized/overweight key rings. If
they'd done that in a timely manner it's possible they could have
finessed the recall altogether.
