Poppenheimer v. Bluff City Motor Homes
Court of Appeals of Tennessee
658 S.W.2d 106 (1983)
Relevant factsFree
L.H. Poppenheimer (plaintiff) bought a motor home from General Motors and Bluff City Motor Home (defendants) under a warranty limited to repairing defects in workmanship or materials for 12 months or 12,000 miles; he sued for breach of warranty after that period, and the trial court held the claim time-barred because the limitations period ran from delivery, not from the end of the warranty period.
IssueFree
Whether the statute of limitations for a breach-of-warranty claim begins to run when the goods are tendered, if the warranty does not explicitly extend to future performance of the goods.
