Plaintiff instituted suit against the defendants for breach of warranty. The trial judge, in a nonjury trial, granted a judgment for plaintiff against defendant Georgie Boy Mаnufacturing, Inc., in the sum of $7,155.* 1 The court also awarded plaintiff court costs plus his actual attorneys’ fees as an additional cost. Defеndant Georgie Boy appeals and we affirm.
On October 27, 1975, plaintiff purchased a new motor home from defendant Dick Loehr’s, Inc. Thе motor home had a chassis and engine manufactured by Ford Motor Company, its tires were manufactured and supplied by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., and it had a Mini Cruiser living assembly that was manufactured and installed by Georgie Boy. While driving home after having bought the motor home, plaintiff noticed a slight vibration in the vehicle. He thought that the vibration was due to the motor home’s nylon tires, which can develop a "flat spot” frоm sitting, and that the vibration would disappear when the tires warmed up. For the next four months the vehicle was only used for short city driving and for one 15-mile expressway trip to the dealer for a 1,000 mile check. Plaintiff noticed the vibration again on the *546 trip to the dealer. In March, 1976, plaintiff and his wife took the motor home on a vacation trip to the South. At this time plaintiff discovered that the vibration did not disappear whеn the tires became warm. Although the trip had been planned to cover four states plaintiff shortened the trip and visited only two states bеcause of the annoying vibration.
Upon returning home, plaintiff took the motor home to a Ford dealer who suggested that the vibration might bе caused by a load distribution. Defendant Loehr’s told plaintiff that the vibration was caused by a defective tire and wheel bearing but when plaintiff took the motor home to Goodyear Tire he was told that the tires were not defective.
Finally, plaintiff contacted an attоrney who wrote to Ford Motor Co., with copies to defendants, indicating the defect and demanding a cure. Georgie Boy replied аnd asked plaintiff to return the motor home to the Georgie Boy factory.
Eventually, it was determined that the tires, while not defective, when instаlled on this particular unit combined in such a way as to cause vibrations at certain speeds. Switching to a softer tire cured the vibration. There is a conflict in the testimony of the parties as to what next occurred. Richard Yost, service manager for Georgie Boy, testified that he informed Mrs. Cady that new tires would eliminate the vibration and offered to sell the new tires to her at wholesale price. He further stated that such an arrangement was unsatisfactory to Mrs. Cady.
Mrs. Cady testified that Georgie Boy never mentioned anything about the Cadys buying new tires. Mrs. Cаdy stated that she received a call from the service manager who told her to come and get the *547 motor home because Georgie Boy was not going to fix it. The Cadys picked up the motor home from Georgie Boy and took it to Loehr’s to be sold. Loehr’s called and told the Cadys they could cure the vibration with new tires for $350. Mr. Cady replied that he would spend no more money on the motor home. Lоehr installed new tires anyway and sold the motor home for $9,000.
The trial judge found that the vibrations were a major defect and prevented thе plaintiff from using the motor home to make long trips which was the purpose of buying the vehicle. He also found that the vibrations were caused by the tires working with other parts of the vehicle and not just by the tires alone. The trial court further found that plaintiff acted within a reasonаble time to revoke the contract.
Georgie Boy Manufacturing, Inc., claims that the trial court’s decision that there was a breach of warranty is not supported by the evidence, that the award of attorneys’ fees is not authorized by law, and that the trial court’s apрortionment of damages — 95% attributed to defendant Georgie Boy and 5% to Loehr’s — is contrary to law and not support by the record.
Contrary to those contentions, in our opinion, the trial court’s findings that the vibrations were a major defect and that plaintiff acted within a reasonable time after discovery to rescind the contract are supported by the record.
Georgie Boy had not cited any authority to substantiate its claim that the trial court’s apportionment of damages was erroneous. The claim, therefore, will not be considered.
As to the award of attorneys’ fees, it is a general rule that attorneys’ fees are not ordinarily recoverable as costs.
In the Matter of the Attorney Fees of
*548
Kelman, Loria, Downing, Schneider & Simpson,
In the present case the trial court stated, "[t]he Court does feel that under these circumstances that not just the attorney fees that we usually grant of $150.00 but the actual attorney fee is proper in the sum of $2,930.00”. Plaintiff maintains that he is entitled to recover the attorneys’ fees based upon the Michigan Uniform Commercial Code whiсh allows the recovery of consequential damages. 2 MCL 440.2714, 440.2715; MSA 19.2714, 19.2715. We have found no interpretation of this statute by any appellate court in this state which squarely resolves this issue.
MCL 440.2714(3); MSA 19.2714(3) provides that, ”[i]n a proper case any incidental and consequential damages under thе next section may also be recovered”.
MCL 440.2715; MSA 19.2715 provides in part:
"(1) Incidental damages resulting from the seller’s breach include expenses reasonаbly incurred in inspection, receipt, transportation and care and custody of goods rightfully rejected, and commercially reаsonable charges, expenses or commissions in connection with effecting cover and any other reasonable expеnse incident to the delay or other breach.” (Emphasis added.)

Interest v Dep’t of State Highways,
Similarly, we find that the language of MCL 440.2714, 440.2715; MSA 19.2714, 19.2715, confers on the trial court discretion to award attorneys’ fees as an element of thе damages incurred as a result of a breach of warranty. Under the facts of this case, the trial court’s exercise of its discretion tо award attorneys’ fees as a "reasonable expense incident to the breach” was proper.
Affirmed. Costs to plaintiff.
Notes
A judgment in the sum of $500 was awardеd against defendant Dick Loehr’s, Inc. That award has not been appealed by Leohr’s.
In the judgment the trial court indicated that plaintiffs attorneys’ fees were awarded as an "additional cost”. We have not reached the issue of whether the attorneys’ fees are recoverable as a cost since we have found that they are recoverable as incidental or consequential damages.
