Decontenting is a subtle yet frequently employed mechanism to increase margins as the prices of raw materials increase.
Such are the current times.
Another car manufacturer (let the innocent be protected) employed decontenting until the vehicle has so many quality problems that the entire assembly line had to be stopped for 3 weeks in order to address all the issues. Too much finally has a clear definition in the dictionary.
