Instead, they decided to prioritize their profit over the lives of the individuals, in this case – their customers. The neglect continued for years until they were informed of the first fatal crash. They then tried to cover this up by not investigating it and they still didn’t make the recall until many years later.…

The cost would benefit them if there were no recall since it would only cause them 49 million dollars instead of 137 million dollars for the “pinto drivers if the car is redesigned”.…
