Holden warranty coverage + Recall question

[Sabbath']

holden paid for mine in full - 5years and 90'ks.

Good for you.

That's two years and ~50,000km difference to the car in question at current time.

some warranty suppliers would argue that a timing chain is a service item, and is not covered by warranty.

that supplier wouldn't be selling many chains then after it was discovered that they only lasted 90ks - unless they were a 10th of the price and fitted to the outside of the engine in an easily accessible position and didn't cause major damage or inconvenience if they failed - kind of like a fan belt. lol

we've already been here...a chain should last longer than 140k's otherwise its known as a belt.

Can you find me the documentation to back this statement up for the chain that GM use for this application?

You have an unfounded opinion sitting in your driveway?

Fact is that Australin Consumer Protection laws warrants manufacturing faults and defects in any product for the LIFE of the product. Given that Holden has identified a manufacturing fault, it is case closed, it is to be repaired under warranty at the manufacturers expense under Australian Consumer Protection Laws for the lift of the product.

If it appeared to be a one off incident with a particular engine component, whereby no known manufacturing fault was documented, then Holden may repair/replace under warranty (if in warranty period), or at their discretion out of warranty, or at your cost outside of this.

At last someone who is on the same page. This is the same as NZ consumer law and quite rightly so.
