Managing 10 million recalled cars is a costly issue no doubt, and for some corporate cultures, one of the last things you’d ever want to do. But consider what was at stake: sudden acceleration that can cause life-threatening accidents. Executives could have acted decisively and done the right thing by pre-emptively recalling vehicles, but only did so after weeks of public and government outcry.
