You're right. Nor is absence of such case law proof you seek from me evidence that your school of thought is in any way more or equally correct.@Rahneld that's not proof.
Where's your proof that following supplements with dissimilar guidance to the owner's manual, along with disclaimers to refer to that owner's manual as the end all be all of guidance, where the owner's manual has no such disclaimers, is going to grant you successful litigation if you folllow the supplements instructional guidance only, and not the disclaimer as well, should things go South?
@digitalbliss: carefully following FCA supplements, by definition, which invariable defer to the owner's manual means that when conflict exists between the supplement and the owner's manual's guidance, you go with the owner's manual, not the other way around.
The owner's manual, not the supplements with disclaimers claiming the owner's manual as effectively the superseding body of knowledge, is your contract with FCA regarding how you are expected to operate their products and the things on them. Deviate from the owner's manual by following a dissenting supplement that defers to the owner's manual, by definition has you doing things your way, not, technically FCA's way, even though FCA published the supplement (all because of the disclaimer in the supplement to the owner's manual and not the same disclaimer in the owner's manual referring you to other FCA guidance on the vehicle's operation.)
When supplements lack such disclaimers and/or when owner's manual have them as well get back to me. Until then, don't assume, in the absence of you providing cases to the contrary, that you've got it right. Doing so means you believe the disclaimers in the supplements to go with the owner's manual guidance have no legal standing. And that's wrong.
Can you possibly collect damages following a supplement with disclaimers to and different guidance from the owner's manual?....why not.
Are your chances increased exponentially by following the dissenting owner's manual and things going South---without doubt.
Now go do whatever makes you happy but don't try to sell it to forum members that supplements with disclaimers to the owner's manual have just as safe guidance to follow (ignoring the disclaimer) as the owner's manual itself.
