On detection of defects in the product post-purchase, is termed and defined under Sec.2(34) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 as "Product Liability" which means the responsibility of a product manufacturer or product seller, to compensate for any harm caused to the consumer by such defective product manufactured or sold or for a deficiency in services relating thereto. So, as a Consumer, serving a legal notice to the product seller and manufacturer, you can file a complaint u/s.35 of CPA, 2019 against the Seller, including the manufacturer and service center as a party to the said complaint for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice before the Dist. Consumer Commission claiming refund of the entire value/cost of the defective product or replacement of the defective product with a new one along with compensation for harassment and cost of litigation. The complaint needs to be filed before the Dist. Consumer Commission within TWO YEARS from the date of cause of action. Feel free to contact our legal team to navigate the issue in the right way.

Given the ongoing issues with your KTM bike and the unsatisfactory responses from the service center, you have several legal options under Indian consumer protection laws. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019, provides remedies for defective goods and deficient services. You can file a complaint with the consumer court, citing the persistent starting issues despite multiple repairs and the financial burden incurred due to the repeated service visits and parts replacement. Document all interactions with the service center, including invoices and communication records, as evidence. Additionally, you can request the contact details of higher authorities, such as the Area Service Manager (ASM), from the company. If they refuse, you can highlight this in your complaint. A legal notice may also be sent to the dealership and the manufacturer, demanding a resolution, such as a full repair, replacement of the bike, or a refund. Consulting with a consumer rights lawyer can help guide you through this process and ensure your rights are protected.
