It's not 10 years. It's the length of the warranty.
Quote:
vehicle manufacturers must be able to provide parts during the term of a warranty (if any) made at the time of sale. They need not make or stock these parts themselves.
Vehicle makers could choose not to do so, but then they would be required to provide a replacement vehicle or a full refund of the vehicle cost. In practice it is usually more cost effective for makers to procure replacement parts to effect a warranty repair.
A further consequence is therefore that replacement parts are also available to people who do not have a warranty claim.
