Rick,

in relation to your car analogy

" Let me see now ...

1. Ford Motor Co. produces a car with a defect. The defect turns out
   be a possible source of injury. The result: Ford is *legally liable*
   to recall and fix said vehicles. "

But if a customer does not service or maintain the vehicle as the manual
requires, and a loss or damage occurs due to a failing of the product, then
the supplier has a means of escaping liability.

cheers,
Matt.
