I'm prepared to change my stance on the matter the moment someone produces evidence that suggests other manufacturers have had instances of on-the-fly changes made on their production lines.
You honestly think other manufacturers have NOT had instances of on-the-fly changes made on their production lines. Ever? Really? You need 'evidence' to believe that manufacturing lines don't work perfectly, and technicians never make assumptions because the instructions are not always perfect.
You know nothing about manufacturing. People with experience try to correct you and you still think you know 'something' when you don't have a clue. Just accept you're wrong sometimes and move on.
"every other major auto manufacturer on the planet seems to avoid this problem" - just the worst assumption. As if you know anything about other auto manufacture's problems. Recalls aren't new. You are new and naive, and over confident in your ignorance.
Until evidence is supplied otherwise, no I don't. Incidentally I've worked in several manufacturing environments ranging from boutique hand-built to global scale mass production lines. Any outfit that has their shit together already has fitment and assembly issues thoroughly debugged before a process gets to production. You probably don't want to make assumptions about what I don't know. So what are you shilling anyway?
