You can buy a Cummins crate engine for $10,000. Assuming that’s a large markup compared to the negotiated amount I’m sure the vehicle manufacturers got, I would bet they’re being fined around 20 percent of what they made off of selling the engines to manufacturers.
Probably not enough to kill the company, but definitely enough to make them think twice on doing it again (almost like what fines should be….).
