It cost Daimler a lot of money to fix the problem, not to mention that their reputation was seriously affected.
Or, for those in North-America, do you remember Ford Pinto and its gas tank? They didn't even bother to fix it although they knew it was a life-threatening issue.
So, again, this is not about Apple and how bad they are. As we can see, whatever seems to bad at Apple, there are other companies out there that face the same challenges and problems!

The Benz A-class, failed what they called the "moose test" in Germany, that was a riot
. They were the butt of jokes for years after that. Just my point. Nowadays the pressure is on to bring out new products all the time. Nobody can get it right the first time.
