My guess is GM made a decision of a band aid fix in order to ship the cars and get paid. Recasting new calipers would take a bit of time and be a huge expense scraping the ones that are not 100 percent. I hope my car does not have tire weights stuck to the rotors. I will be alittle unhappy about that.
I know that there is no way I would push something from my company out the door that I knew was not right. I think time and money played a huge roll in this poor fix. Just my 2 cents

I haven't put my 2 cents in here and am not going to except to say that if I had the choice to trade places with ANYONE who has their car right now (weights) vs. myself (who will probably be getting a car with the replacement calipers on it but I have to wait a few more months), I'd do it in a heartbeat.
