Smog unit warranties spark industry clash in hearings
Washington AP reports a House subcommittee discussed the 1970 Clean Air Act warranty provision requiring automakers to warrant emission-control equipment for five years or 50,000 miles. Harold T. Halfpenny of the Automotive Service Industry Association warned it would devastate independent parts shops and push car owners toward dealer service. Ford's Donald A. Jensen said owners may use any Ford-spec part but Ford can define which replacements it will cover under warranty.
