Used Car Safety: Ban on Sales with Unrepaired Recalls

This act aims to enhance road safety by prohibiting dealers from selling, leasing, or loaning used cars with unresolved safety recalls. This ensures citizens can be confident that purchased vehicles are safe and do not require immediate manufacturer-related defect repairs. The act also establishes reimbursement rules for dealers if manufacturers fail to provide recall remedies in a timely manner.
Key points
Dealers are prohibited from selling, leasing, or loaning used vehicles with open safety recalls that require repair.
Car manufacturers must reimburse dealers if they fail to provide remedies for recalled vehicles within 60 days.
The act takes effect one year after its enactment, allowing time for compliance with the new regulations.
