3-Valve engine spark plug lawsuit settlement
Found this on the web. Some may already know about it, some not.
Ford Motor Company
Ford Motor Company was sued because spark plugs used in their three valve engines would sometimes get stuck and break inside the engine when being replaced. It was alleged that Ford should have known their spark plug design was defective and prone to break inside the engine making them difficult and expensive to remove.
