There are some very reckless statements in this article regarding parts and voiding of warranties that go beyond reporting into editorializing. Poor choice of words, poor editing, or an editorial agenda?
Which part(s) specifically, Bill? This paragraph indicates the issue is with telling people that OEM parts are being used when A/M or LKQ parts are really being used.
“Pruitt is investigating reports that certain insurers are coercing Oklahomans into using auto body repair shops that may use salvaged parts or other substandard materials to make repairs, while claiming to use new parts or materials made by the automobile manufacturer, according to announcement released by his office.”
This paragraph talks about how A/M parts MAY void manufacturer warranties (true) and that the parts MAY not meet OEM spec’s (also true).
“The AG warned that the use of so-called “aftermarket” parts may void automobile manufacturer warranties. It is possible that such parts may not meet manufacturer specifications and potentially could fail in the future.”
I don’t see the reckless statements you’re referencing, which is why I asked what specifically you’re talking about.
