    It was more the fact Mazda were protecting their backsides.

    If one had a completely unrelated accident 10 years down the line, you can bet the prosecution would pin it on the manufacturer for selling them on. The cost of a potential lawsuit outweighed the cost of scrapping a handful of cars.

    The reputation of Mazda selling duff cars would stick for years (no comment required about Mobil shares and RX7s pls). Plus, having customers sign a waiver is admittance from Mr M that the cars have faults. Scrapping them all says "Mazda cares about its customers enough that we don't want to risk even a slight chance of quality failure", thus turning negative into positive.

    Unfortunately this is the way of the modern world.
