So you replaced that expensive Jaguar part in your Jaguar a few months ago, only to find out that it has recently been recalled. Should you be reimbursed by the manufacturer for the Jaguar part you just had repaired?
In short, yes. Your vehicle’s manufacturer will cover the replacement of the recalled part, as long as you went to a qualified mechanic who used original equipment factory (OEM) parts for the repair.
According to this article, “Federal regulations state that automakers are required to reimburse for costs to fix a defect as long as receipts for the repairs are submitted.”
