True, but I suspect this specific case is based on the assumption that it will be a garage maintaining the car, and they can pass any inconvenience back to you in the form of labour charges. Manufacturing any significant object is a trade off between various competing factors and it is likely that home maintence is way down the list of priorities. It's not that new, though. Changing one of the headlights in my old Mondeo was ok, the other you had to practically take the engine out to get to it
