I would endorse other postings. One important additional note is to think what it would cost if the product was found to suffer, say, excess emissions.
A trip to a test-house would take one to two days to discover the problem. If the expertise of the test-house was then used to solve this problem and it takes three weeks to do that (for example, finding the source of emission for a clock based emission that could be from multiple locations) what is the cost? If the implementation then needs a significant change to a product, what is the cost of updating all the product in production and, if a subcontractor is involved, how many days delay would this create? Then, of course, those customers who are complaining may want their money back or an improved model.... and so it could go on. Such a situation does not have to arise from government authorities just a group of angry customers who may make their dissatisfaction known via the media who love to make public such stories.
