Surely, the real issue is , A POS, unfit -for-purpose, inferior display was CERTIFIED AND APPROVED and on that basis, customers bought it

Now, they're being told, you've been conned, bend over and we'll screw you again, and, no, you don't have a choice and we dictate the price.
True - but with that logic should we just scrap AD's all together? They provide a safety net for those unexpected design flaws that come to light as result of experience.

Just a question of who foots the bill..

And whether the risk involved warrants an AD, which the FAA seem to have deemed.
