Summary

Session
Regular Session 2017
Title
Motor vehicle dealers, new, franchise act, new and used vehicles, recalls, payment during stop-sale orders when repair parts not available, Sec. 8-20-7.1 added
Description

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.
