ARB quality ?

Hiya David

Rust is like cancer and what you see now you can bet your balls its where you cannot see it ! ~(8-)

I assume there has been no damage like stone chip's etc etc...
Obviously the initial prep of the metal was poor from the start..I suppose its a battle between the Manufacturer and Retailer,Although if the Retailer has made the call it is obviously bad enough...,Keep a very close eye on the bar and take pictures for the coming months until you get a resolution !
I'm thinking about a ARB Bullbar and this is not good Advertising,although a lot of my gear is ARB and no issues..

Cheers

Warranty starts from the original purchase date I thought and not from the date of a replacement item. A manufacturer warrants goods for a set period, it is up to them whether they replace or repair during that period.

Well - here in SA the comissioner for consumer affairs has assured we citizens that when an item is replaced under warranty, the warranty period for the original one starts again on supply of the second - I've had personal experience with that phenomenon at Bunnings (cordless drill kit worth $150) - I've assumed the other states would do the same....?

Two words.... Defect Liability
I am pretty sure this covers any problem claimed under warranty or "proving" period.
If something is replaced or repaired then the warranty or "proving" period for said item then warranty period should start again for the repaired or replaced item.

yeah, extra careful so as to not pollute the air before the olympics
