Ferrari Mailing List: Re: FNA Notice to Dealers

[JAshburne (JAshburne]

This is the part below that does exactly that, denying coverage of all  
"consequential repair costs for that car for the remainder of the warranty  
period".  That is far different than retaining the burden of proof that the  
aftermarket part caused the fault.

"This practice must stop immediately. Any dealer fitting any non-genuine  
parts
or accessory on a Ferrari that is under warranty will be held  responsible
for all consequential repair costs for that car for the remainder  of the
warranty period and Ferrari will also hold dealer responsible for any  other
related liabilities, e.g., accidents, personal and property damage,  etc."

If an  owner has aftermarket modifications done to the car, ***AND***  those
modifications ***CAUSE*** a problem, then why should the manufacturer  be on
the hook for something?  Jim, FNA isn't saying, "change the  exhaust and
we'll void the entire warranty", or even "change the exhaust  and we'll
decline to cover damage to the transmission."  They are  saying, "change the
exhaust, and we'll decline to cover your labor charges  to reset the CEL and
any consequential damage, such as catalyst  failure."  Now, it's still
incumbent on FNA to show that the  aftermarket exhaust caused the damage, but
it's hardly unreasonable to  think that an aftermarket exhaust and engine ECU
mapping *can* cause a CEL  illumination or other adverse  effects.
