You won't need to replace it every year. You will need to replace it
every four or five years. I've had about three of them on my 1990
since new.

It was the only thing available on Sunday late afternoon when I was still almost 200 miles from home. It has a lifetime warranty, but that is no comfort if I need to replace it every year, especially on the road.
