I don't think they do the testing like they like they did in previous years. Also I'd say they let a lot more go in previous years.

How many recalls do we see today? Australian cars have had mandatory setbelts for around 50 years, ZB on sale for a couple of months and a recalll for seatblets. ACCC lists 2393 car recalls Toyota 189, Holden 179, Ford 169, Mercedes Benz 156 etc
There is a lot more to go wrong then in previous years.

This particular issue was the wrong choice for the car. Just remember vw ran the same rubbish box but they got away with it.
