DATE:
INTRODUCTION: Brief 1-paragraph intro to subject of memo.
FACTS SUMMARY: Summarize and explain the facts that are directly significant and relevant to the ethical dilemma in this case.
ETHICAL DILEMMA: Discuss the either/or ethical dilemma facing the company.
ETHICAL ISSUE: Discuss the most significant ethical issue (there is more than one, but choose one) related to, and arising from, the ethical dilemma and then, explain the ethical issue and why it is an ethical/moral issue, etc.
ALTERNATIVES: List, explain and justify two (2) possible alternatives/solutions to address and resolve the ethical dilemma and ethical issue discussed above. Each alternative should be comprehensive so that it addresses the related ethical issue.
Alternatives should be feasible, logical, directly related to resolving the ethical dilemma and addressing the ethical issues in the case.
Alternatives are expressed in the form of propositions or prescriptive statements suggesting action and are framed by asking the normative question, what could or should the company do? Consider consequences. Identify relevant stakeholders and the effects on them, pros and cons, etc. of each alternative. Apply ethical theories in context of your evaluations, but do not overdo this aspect. For example, teleological or consequentialist theorists would examine who the stakeholders are, both internal and external to the company, and the positive and negative consequences for each stakeholder group, etc.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend one and only one (1) alternative from the two (2) alternatives suggested above. Justify and explain your choice discussing:
• why you chose this alternative
• how, specifically, the recommendation will address the ethical dilemma and ethical issues
• how the recommendation will likely impact relevant stakeholders
• pros and cons of recommendation
• feasibility of recommendation
• how the recommendation will be implemented
• Apply ethical theories, resources from previously assigned course materials, or resources from your own research to justify and support your recommendation. FUTURE IMPLICATIONS for RECOMMENDATION: Discuss potential implications arising from recommendation for: • the company
• other businesses within the industry
• other industries
CONCLUSION: Summarize the case and its ethical issues, implications, etc.

Ethics Case Problem (GIANT MOTORS RECALL POLICY)
Giant Motors, a large auto manufacturer headquartered in the Midwest, has had a difficult decade in terms of the downturn in the economy, profits turning into losses, leadership, and legal issues. Recently it seems to have turned the corner on all fronts and is profitable again. Unfortunately, a major controversy regarding the safety of its automobiles has arisen.
The company has been forced to recall many of its 2007-2011 automobiles because of steering malfunctions, which have lead to a number of accidents and a reported 40 fatalities since 2007. The press, the National Transportation Board, and consumer groups are pounding Giant about its failure to issue a recall years ago when the steering problems were first reported to Giant, claiming that lives could have been saved, and injuries prevented had Giant issued an earlier recall.
In the past, Giant has issued recalls when ordered to by the government, or when there is a clear pattern of a defect leading to injuries. In this case, Giant contends that no such pattern existed and of course there was no recall demand by government agencies; that reports of the steering problem were sporadic, vague, and the link between to steering issue and the injuries/deaths unproven.
Historically, Giant and other manufacturers are inundated with false claims of manufacturing defects. Giant contends that trial lawyers are famous for alleging manufacturing defects that are never proven. If recalls were made based on anecdotal evidence, or on the basis of a few defects in the millions of vehicles produced annually, the company would have gone out of business years ago. Giant, like most other manufacturing companies, uses a cost benefit analysis when it comes to consumer safety. Recognizing that no vehicle will ever be perfectly safe, it installs safety features, and recalls models for defects when the threat to consumer safety outweighs the cost of the safety feature or the recall. Often times, this is guess work. The Ford Pinto case, going back forty years is the classic example. Allegedly, Ford engineers that the placement of the gas tank in the Pinto would cause some small number of fires upon impact, leading to injuries and death. However this small number did not justify a re-engineering of the Pinto to make it safer – the costs of such a reengineering would cost more than anticipated profits. The anticipated small number of claims filed for death or injury would be satisfied within the anticipated profit margin. In the Ford Pinto case, the cost benefit analysis was flawed and far more injuries, deaths, and claims occurred.
You are hired as a consultant to submit a plan to Giant on revision of its recall policy. In particular Giant advises that it wants to have a sound ethical basis for its recall policy, as well as a financially sustainable policy. (The company cannot simply recall all units of a model simply because there is a safety complaint about one or several vehicles of that model.)
In formulating your recommendation, consider the material in your readings, class discussions, and include the following: criteria for recall; percentage of vehicles in model line reporting defects before recall is considered; timing of investigation of reported defects; whether and how an estimates of the number of injuries, deaths, and dollar amounts for claims should enter into the recall decision.
