Consumer Protection Act | Automaker Not Liable for Third-Party Tyre Defects Without Proof of Negligence : Uttarakhand SCDRC
Uttarakhand State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission rules that automakers cannot be held liable for defects in third-party manufactured tyres unless the complainant proves negligence or deficiency in service by the automaker. The ruling dismisses the complaint against Honda Cars India, reinforcing that liability for component defects lies with the actual manufacturer, not the vehicle seller.
