What is considered a “Major Safety Defect?
“Major Safety Defect” has yet to be decided by the Courts. However, we know that it must be a life threatening potential problem with a vehicle, or the vehicle’s failure forces the owner into a dangerous situation. This would include, for example, stalling, failures to start, overheating, significant braking issues, fuel issues, air bag and seat belt issues, transmission failure, instrumentation failures, and the like.
