So it hurts their short-term earnings...so what?

At least they are making an effort to deal with issues, as opposed to allowing long-standing known problems fester and deny it (e.g., the harmonic balancers). This is the MB company I remember.

They've admitted (probably damage control) that the faults are legacy issues, and not new quality problems.

It took them nearly a decade to let quality slide to the point it is now. They aren't going to turn it around and win customer confidence overnight.

At least this is a step in the right direction. Perhaps one day, I will trade in one (or more) of my aging 90's-era MBs for a reliable, high-quality pristine '09 model down the road...
