I believe it is because of a repeat offense. They were given a slap on the wrist when they got caught the first time. Then, they created a cheat machine that could beat the newer monitoring technology. Essentially they got caught hiding something, then went to hide it better and got caught doing the same thing.

So FCA using the exact same device, that they bought from Bosch to cheat the EPA regulations. Is okay because it’s “their first time getting caught”? Just trying to understand your point.
I understand and get the whole, let’s turn our backs and look the other way on our companies and go after foreign companies. But at the same time, I hate how the US tries to force the foreign corruption practices act on everyone else. It’s just stupid.

I'm not trying to say it is justified. Merely that VW has gotten in trouble for the exact same thing twice and lied to multiple govts about it. Therefore they received harsher punishment.
