Used Car Safety: Banning Sales of Vehicles with Unrepaired Safety Recalls.

This bill aims to significantly boost consumer safety when purchasing used vehicles. It prohibits professional auto dealers from selling, leasing, or loaning used motor vehicles that have open, unrepaired safety recalls. This ensures that citizens buying a used car from a dealer receive a vehicle where all known safety defects have been fixed.
Key points
Used car dealers must remedy all open safety recalls before selling, leasing, or loaning the vehicle to a consumer.
Consumer protection: Citizens are protected from unknowingly purchasing used vehicles with potentially dangerous, unfixed safety defects.
Manufacturers must compensate dealers if they fail to provide the necessary repair parts within 60 days, encouraging faster recall resolution.
