Only if the advertized claim of 6 years warranty was a joke.
Just 'cuz it says "warranty" doesn't mean "free replacement." You
gotta read the fine print.
Warranty: : "a usually written guarantee of the integrity of a
product and of the maker's responsibility for the repair or
replacement of defective parts"
Now, yes, I am aware that lawyers have been nibbling away at
bits of this for quite a while through ever more complex fine
print. But there reaches a point where the implied promise
becomes a joke. And, at that point, sellers should not be
describing their worthless bit of drivel as a "warranty".
Let them invent some new marketing speak to describe the
thing -- "non-binding customer assurance certificate" sounds
pretty darn good to me ;-)
