The statement about the Discipline Panel's authority in relation to fines imposed on a dealer or salesperson for breaking the Code of Ethics is indeed true. The accurate understanding is that the Discipline Panel has the power to impose a fine of up to $25,000, not $10,000 as suggested in the question. Therefore, the true answer reflects the falsehood of the statement regarding the fine amount.

In this context, it's important to highlight that penalties can vary depending on the specifics of the offense and the applicable regulations governing the industry. Fines and other disciplinary actions are established to ensure compliance with ethical standards, thus maintaining professionalism in the automotive industry. Understanding the limitations and scopes of these penalties is crucial for both dealerships and salespersons to ensure they operate within legal and ethical boundaries.
