I disagree. The owner should be able to get them repaired without needing the manufacturer to approve.

If the Manufacturer doesn't put security systems in place, situations like this are more likely

    This wasn't a security system it was a straight up fiddle. The fact it was undocumented is the real tell.

      It was a Security System, they were even told the trains are blocked because of a security system...

        > "Newag explains that the trains were blocked by a "security system" - but there is no mention of it in the 20,000 pages of the manual."

      In my experience, It's more common for Security Systems to be un-documented than it is for them to be documented...
