330930 - ref SDS 17 Q54F
330932 - ..
330933 - This is correct; however, the claim for warranty coverage replacing
330934 - the ignition system starter on 120216, is based on faulty "tune up"

330942 - months not 3 months.
330944 - ..
330945 - We agreed that 2 weeks is well within the 12 month warranty period,
330946 - and that Future Ford's explanation of the battery being replaced on
330947 - warranty indicates it caused the starter to fail, as set out in the
330948 - letter to Future Ford on 120225 1114. ref SDS 22 YH5Q
330950 - ..
330951 - Jamie recalled explaining last week on 120224, that the faulty battery
330952 - affected the starter, and since the battery failed within the warranty
330953 - perioed and was replaced by Future Ford under invoice 189370 on 120216
330954 - 1117. ref SDS 14 IT4F, then collateral damage to the starter should
330955 - likewise be recovered by the customer, reported on 120224 0806.
