The Court of Cassation (Yargıtay) ruled that a paint defect on the roof of a new car was a hidden defect and upheld its replacement with a faultless equivalent.
The car had been bought in Izmir in 2020, and an expert had found the blistering on its roof was a manufacturing defect. The replacement order by the Izmir 8th Consumer Court had been upheld by the Izmir Regional Court of Appeal.
