No motor fuel that is blended with ethanol shall be considered a defective product for purposes of property damage claims. Under this act, motor vehicle and internal combustion engine manufacturers and dealers shall not be liable for property damages related to a customer's purchase of motor fuel blended with renewable fuels if the selection and purchase of the motor fuel was made by the customer and does not comply with specific fuel recommendations found in the vehicle or product owner manual.
