the mv warranty booklet contains the following statement:
Limitations: The guarantee expires in the following cases:
a) When the motorcycle is disassembled or repaired by shops that are outside official MV Agusta S.p.A Dealers' assistance network.
isn't that a violation of the Magnuson-Moss Act? specifially, the act prohibits "tie-in sales" provisions. that's where the manufacturer of a product forces you to use only company provided parts and services. this is explicitly prohibited under the act. u.s. law does allow for the manufacturer to make statements to the effect that if repairs and services are not performed according to specific instructions (improper repair & service) that the warranty can be voided.
from my understaing, a wavier for the "tie-in sales" provision can be obtained from the FTC, but wouldn't that waiver be explicitly stated in the warranty booklet.
anyone else find this a bit curious?
