• Senators call for additional accountability for automakers Wednesday, May 5, 2010

    Detroit News:  A bill being proposed in the U.S. Senate would remove the “overall cap on civil penalties for auto companies that intentionally fail to report vehicle safety defects to [the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration] or that intentionally provide misleading information about NHTSA,” writes David Shepardson.  “Toyota, which could have faced a $13.8 billion fine without a cap, could have faced a $69 billion penalty under the new law.”
