Description

Cross-defendant Ford Motor Company (Ford) appeals from a judgment requiring it to indemnify cross-complainant Pearson Ford Company (Pearson) for the entire judgment ($150,000) rendered in favor of plaintiffs Tessie G. Schultz and Leroy N. Schultz, and against both Ford and Pearson after a jury trial of the main action. Plaintiffs recovered in the main action for personal injuries sustained by Mrs. Schultz in a single car accident caused by a defect in the brake system of an automobile manufactured by Ford and sold to the plaintiffs by Pearson, an authorized Ford dealer. Although plaintiffs had originally pleaded additional theories of liability, the case went to the jury solely on the theory of a manufacturer and retailers strict liability in tort for defective manufacture or design as established in California in Vandermark v. Ford Motor Co., 61 Cal. 2d 256 [37 Cal. Rptr. 896, 391 P.2d 168].
