Gee, thanks for the objective tutorial...where they're all happy and smiling about their "Parts" suppliers...including the ones who made Toyota's throttle pedal assemblies right here in good ol' North America...
Facts are facts...and the fact is, it's a World-wide business, with a World-wide network for EVERY manufacturer... Those statistics, sighted, are changing daily for, if they don't, GM/Ford/Chrysler-Fiat will cease to exist...PERIOD.
So "wave the flag" while you can... The slow-boat from China is preparing to leave its home port...and will be FILLED with "domestic" brand names...FACT. What % of North American-sourced parts do you think they'll "wear"?

The throttle pedal assembly was done according to Toyota's own specifications. It's not their job to check for safety issues, considering they relied on Toyota for actually researching the faults of the pedal.
No one can predict the future, especially not you. So even though there are multiple places around the globe where GM could open up plants, conduct research, etc., GM has decided to employ nearly as many American workers as all foreign automakers combined.
