I am catching up on my Charlie Rose. I just saw a show about the VW
debacle. Something came out that was interesting. They were comparing
this to the Takata air bag and the GM ignition switch.
It was pointed out that safety defects that kill people can only draw
civil suits and maybe some government fines.
OTOH if they can get a conviction on a "clean air act" violation (like
VW) people can go to jail and have.
There is something wrong here.
