Jerry, while I agree with most of your comments, on this one I do not. Maybe it's just the verbiage but if the root cause of a mechanical problem is a "design flaw" then the cure for all affected would essentially be the same. If the cure for each is different, then that means that the problems were also different.

By extension if the problems are different, then the root cause of the problems would be in the manufacturing, not in the design.

If the design is at fault then once a definitive fix for a given fault is found then, within a window of manufacturing tolerances, that same fix would apply to other cars built with the same design.
