フォーリー・パートナー アン・マリー・ウエッツ was quoted in an article that appeared in the May 30, 2010 issue of Crain’s Detroit Business titled “Suppliers wary of GM provision to split warranty costs 50-50.” Uetz discusses a General Motors Co. contract provision that makes suppliers liable for half of GM’s warranty costs, stating that many suppliers are skeptical about signing the document because it is unclear what GM plans to include in the warranty costs to be split. She adds that purchasing practices employed by the automakers are often also employed by tier-one suppliers with their own supply base.
