Toyota did the decent thing and put their hands up and did all they can to rectify it, GM on the other hand do anything to pass the liability elsewhere....

What did Lutz say before that? What was the question? Seems like a reporter was trying to work out a Toyota connection and Lutz revealed it was a partially Toyota owned supplier. We don't have enough of that conversation to decide. Besides, Toyota outed their supplier too, it's mentioned early in this thread.
The US government seems to think Toyota did not do the "right thing" until enough pressure was put on them.
