What constitutes a vehicle defect?
There are three types of vehicle defects. • A manufacturing defect generally denotes the failure to include a required safety mechanism in an automobile. While Ford engineer Bharat Malhotra warned against the manufacturing defect in the Donnelly door latches, no recall was ever implemented. • A design defect causes injury or death due to a poor design decision, such as placing a fuel tank too close to a position of frequent impact. • Failure to warn occurs when the manufacturer of an automobile containing an unsafe feature fails to adequately warn consumers of this issue.
