The way I look at it is. A. It only applies to the first owner. B. How many people keep their cars for over 5 years. C. Don’t send out notifications of the 5-year inspection. People miss this, warranty=void. D. Drivetrains, don’t break all that often these days under normal use. ---

Yeah definitely a step forward, but I wonder just how catchy the fine print will be. ---

I don’t know aobut you but I don’t know many people that bought a car brand new. And kept it until it had that many miles. ---

I can see the fine print being that you have to have records of all engine and tranny oil changes or else they would be just dumb. Why pay to change your oil when you can just replace the engine for free. ---
