Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) Changes Its Operator's Guides in Regards to Warranty Coverage
Multiple recent operator's guides for Ski-Doo snowmobiles and Can-Am
ATVs, manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (BRP),
advise customers that it is necessary to use BRP-branded lubricants or
risk the loss of warranty coverage, while some guides also state there
is "no known equivalent" to the branded BRP lubricant on the market.
AMSOIL confronted BRP and asserted that its warranty language
violated the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a federal law which prohibits
manufacturers from requiring the use of a branded service/replacement
part unless the branded service/replacement part is provided free of
charge or is not intended for use in consumer applications, and
emphasized that AMSOIL synthetic lubricants meet or exceed the engine
performance requirements for both two- and four-cycle engines used in
powersports equipment.
BRP has agreed to modify
the language in its operator's guides to no longer indicate that use of
oil other than the BRP-branded product may void the warranty, to
clearly identify product recommendations as recommendations rather than
requirements and to no longer comment on the availability of
equivalents to the BRP brand oil(s).
