Start the review with products liability.
For Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, the saved research highlights products liability, employee injuries, commercial property. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- Are products sold as OEM components, aftermarket replacement parts, or both, and who are the primary downstream customers?
- Does the operation involve remanufacturing or rebuilding used engine cores, or is all production from new materials?
- Are there any existing OEM supply contracts with indemnification, warranty, or hold-harmless obligations?
- What is the prior products liability loss history, including any recall events or field failure claims?
- How are machining fluids, solvents, and metal waste managed and disposed of on-site?
- For Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior product liability claims involving field failures, vehicle accidents, or recalls attributed to manufactured components?
- For Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about remanufactured or rebuilt engine operations using cores of unknown origin or condition, which can complicate products liability underwriting?
- For Motor Vehicle Gasoline Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about oem supply contracts with downstream indemnification or warranty obligations that could aggregate liability exposure significantly?
