Does it?

Which auto manufacturer's have had recalls due to unapproved changes made on the assembly line?

I've seen design flaws force a recall but i'm not certain that unapproved change s on the assembly line is something that routinely happens.

Do we have public post mortems for all the thousands of recalls over the years?

For example, what happened with Toyota's wheels falling off a couple a years ago.
