There are recalls all the time on products through honest mistakes people make. Should we call out each of these people individually?
But what has happened here is they did NOT initiate a recall, though they knew enough about the problem to redesign the part. I have no idea how likely or unlikely it is that the named engineers were responsible for that, or even for not assigning a new part number, as opposed to their managers.
If the latter turn out to be culpable, the names of the engineers should be seen in headlines once more, to clear their reputations.
