I'm glad someone else posted the the legal thing regarding M-MA.

People don't seem to get you'll have to prove to the dealer X didn't cause Y, not the other way around.

Bringing up modern BMWs and seals, not a great example. My 135i had less than 30k miles on it when I had to have the valve cover gasket replaced and the OFHG (oil filter housing gasket).

Especially because if the OFHG fails and you don't notice, it leaks down and causes the belt tensioner to fail, causing the crank pulley to potentially suck the belt past the front crank seal and possibly into the bearings.
