Under existing law, the Motor Vehicle Franchise Act regulates dealings between manufacturers and distributors or wholesalers of new motor vehicles and their dealers. Existing law governs warranty repairs required under a manufacturer's warranty, but does not cover recall repairs.
This bill would specify provisions for the payment of new motor vehicle dealers for recall repairs, including costs associated with a recall when a vehicle is held in a dealer's used car inventory and parts are not reasonably available to perform a recall repair.
