Question

Carr was shopping for a new racing motorcycle. He told Springsteen, the motorcycle dealer, that he needed the motorcycle to race on one-mile dirt tracks. Springsteen suggested that Carr buy a certain motorcycle that was designed for half-mile dirt tracks. When racing on a one-mile track, Carr was easily passed by his competition due to his bike being underpowered. What type of warranty has been breached

Answer 1

Answer:

The implied warranty for fitness for a purpose has been breached.

Explanation:

The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose occurs when the seller understands that the product is suitable for carrying out a specific activity and assures the buyer that when purchasing the product the activity will be carried out successfully. This activity is something very specific and is guaranteed with the purchase. As we can see in the question above, the seller assured Carr that the motorcycle he was buying was suitable for the race he wanted to participate in, but that was a lie, since the motorcycle did not have enough power to carry out the race. In this case, we can say that the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose has been violated.
