Should the OEM have to pay to fix a product that the product owner modified?
For example, if A flashes aftermarket firmware to tractor X by OEM Z, and then tractor X (in conjunction with a human operator) causes loss; it is not reasonable to assess liability to OEM Z who could not have inspected or certified the modified product.

When you modify the product, you void the warranty.
When you void the warranty, the original manufacturer is no longer liable

This should be done by every country
No way this ever succeeds under Trump's "one more trillion for the military industrial complex" mandate.
