I agree that the fine was quite excessive, and the accident was not Daimler Chrysler's fault. They say in the article that the seatbacks collapsed in every rear-end collision test that was conducted.

I say if the vans were completely unsafe, then they wouldn't have passed the crash regulations set by the NTSB. As long as the van meets the required safety guidelines, how can you fine them for something like this?
