> Tom Layton of Henderson, Nevada first noticed FedEx's odometer rollbacks in 2017. Layton, who's been buying and selling trucks and vans for 36 years, bought a FedEx Freightliner truck with around 180,000 indicated miles. When he sold the truck, his buyer hooked it up to a computer that told them the real mileage was around 400,000 miles.

And yet another reason to ensure "Right to Repair" Laws are passed and enforced.

Right now, one state, I forgot which, was informed by the auto industry they will ignore the law. I do not know if enforcement has started yet.

We only know that “buyer hooked it up to his computer and said [something]” - how does that strengthen an argument for (or against) right to repair, exactly?

Thanks for the link. Instructed by the federal government not to comply seems quite a bit different than what gp is implying. Why would legislators bother considering the full implications of their bills?

Car manufacturers are trying to lock out that kind of interface. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/06/feds-tell-automakers-no...
