What type of warranty was breached when the windshield of a car broke after being hit by a small rock?

a) an express warranty

b) an implied warranty

c) the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose

d) the Magnuson-Moss warranty

Express warranty was breached.

An express warranty is a contract by a seller to provide replacement or repair within a specified period of time for a defective product, service, or component. In accordance with the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, if an item is sold for less than $15, a company must make a written express warranty.

For compliance with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, if a product is sold for more than $15 million, a manufacturer must provide a formal specific warranty.

Description of a product or service mentioned in the commercial will set a clear promise as a precedent.

An implicit promise can take effect in the absence of expressed guarantees.
