I prefer to look at the dollar amount of the check as economies of scale. Mass production decreases individual item costs, which is why all of the nice gizmos eventually migrate from the luxury cars to the everyday commuter. If the recall was limited to a low production vehicle, the individual checks would be much larger. To move that decimal point one or two positions to the right would bankrupt any business against such a large scale of production. My Tundra is still just as valuable to me now as it was before the $29.86 check appeared in my mailbox.
