Used Car Safety: Ban on Selling Vehicles with Unrepaired Safety Recalls.
This law aims to boost road safety by prohibiting dealers from selling, leasing, or loaning used vehicles that have open, unrepaired safety defects subject to a recall. This ensures that consumers purchasing a used car from a dealer receive a vehicle free of known critical safety issues before the sale. The bill also establishes a compensation mechanism for dealers if manufacturers delay providing the necessary repair remedy for more than 60 days.
Key points
Dealers are prohibited from selling used cars until all safety defects subject to a recall notification have been remedied.
Manufacturers must reimburse dealers (at least 1% of fair market value monthly) if they fail to provide a repair remedy within 60 days of the recall notification date.
