It almost makes you wonder if there's some sort of McDonald's kickback scheme here. They make the franchisees take the machine, knowing it's going to break down, which makes the franchise owners have to pay through the nose to get it fixed, and then which McDonald's gets a kickback.
When you have a machine that fails that often, and has become that much of a publicity problem, you would think a company like McDonald's would say OK enough is enough, we're changing the machines.

Given that there's been a lawsuit between the OEM and the startup making mods for the machine for 2 years and no such documents have been found in discovery, my guess is no.
