Let's stay on topic, guys.

For the people that say the dealer broke them when they changed them...what is the consequence of this? Doesn't the dealer have to pay for anything they break? What's the difference if they break because you're paying them to change them and if it breaks it's there fault isn't it?
Should't they pay for any damage associated with the plugs they break?

20% of the respondents have had broken sparkplugs so far. It sounds to me like you have proven that there is a problem. I have owned 25 vehicles (4 of them motorcycles) and I have been changing sparkplugs in my own vehicles for 23 years and I have never broken a sparkplug in any of them. It has to be more than a coincidence.
