S76Heavy There have been difficulties with actually applying this in practice (eg Herald of Free Enterprise). And certainly all the cases in the UK have been against 'operators' or 'maintainers' never against an OEM.
Even when a problem is known about, compliance times for any necessary AD are agreed with CAA/FAA etc, so if another accident occurs before the fleet is fixed the OEM can point at the aviation authority and claim the timescales were government approved.
But I hope you are right!
