What about the fake parts in car Airbags and the massive recalls and costs there.

It seems practically everything in our world has been faked; currency, artworks, watches, DVD's, nearly every electronic part, drugs, nothing is spared, perhaps only cathode ray tubes. I haven't seen a fake one yet, but I wish somebody would try then we might get some spare parts !

Ps: the helicopter that got that refurbished rotor was shown on TV lifting a heavy object (I think a crashed plane out of bushland) and amazingly despite the holes in the main rotor, it didn't break, it was discovered later.

I've attached a pdf of a brief Fake Part story I had a while back.
