I don’t know many car-related EU and national authorities that can be ignored by the manufacturer without consequences. Otherwise we would have manufacturers that lie about the size, weight, capacity, speed limits and acceleration of their cars to pad their numbers.
Did you forget the whole diesel emissions scandal? A ridiculous amount of car manufacturers were caught after it turns out they were lying on the tests for years at that point.
It takes time before the government properly audits and finds these issues.
Your view of the relationship between governments and global corporations is adorable.
