(2) Supplier notifications A notification of defect with respect to original equipment made by the original equipment supplier is not determinative of whether a defect exists in a motor vehicle in which the original equipment was installed at the time of delivery to the first purchaser. (3) Good faith Nothing in this subsection relieves a manufacturer of any obligation under subsection (c) to make a decision in good faith..
