I agree it's going to be expensive. But it's better for their public image than if they were to deny there even was a problem as they've done in the past.

I wonder how much it costs as well. This is not a good thing. But at least they are doing the right thing here. I'm really pulling for Ford. But I hope they clean up their act a bit
