I don't think "the right thing" is as black-and-white here as it is in other recalls. The article mentions several confounding factors:
- the airbags were manufactured in different locations over the course of 18 years, making it difficult to say that 100% of them need to be recalled
- it's not easy to prove what caused the issue in the first place
- the vehicle manufacturer should probably be the party responsible for the recall, not the airbag manufacturer (based on US law, not based on common sense)
So fighting this is certainly a self-interest of the airbag company, but it's not necessarily baseless.
