If tire manufacturers or retailers were sued for defective tires, would they have any defenses? Why or why not? Analyze and evaluate the various issues presented while arguing and debating the connections between business, law, politics, and ethics.

Solution

Issue:

Did the tire manufacture or retailers supply the defective tires and protecting with warranty claims?

Rule:

If any defective tires supplied by the tire manufacturers or retailers, the warranty to replace the defective item is a mandatory. If the tire manufacturer or retailer is defensive, then illegal action to claim the loss incurred by the plaintiff is legally possible.

Analysis:

Defending the mistakes as if it had not happened is subjected to legal action. This will damage the image of the tire manufacturer and the retailer. The customers are not paying for the defective tire, ethically we need to understand that, not to defend ourselves from replacing the defective tires. Politically speaking the good tires were to be sold for making profit to the company, not cheating the customers with the defective tires. From business perspective, the defective tires during its initial installation or initial usages will be bound to fail at the rate of the calculated mean time before fail, so warranty claim is legally accepted for replacing the minimum of defective tires that are passed to the customers by mistake.

Conclusion:

Tire manufacturer or retailer supplied the defective tires. So they have to accept their mistake and the replace the defective one with the new good tires. Or else they have to face the legal action initiated by the customers.
