SB 242 Motor vehicle dealers; warranty obligations.
Introduced by: Martin E. Williams | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Motor vehicle dealers; warranty obligations. Provides that warranty parts compensation paid to dealers is to be stated as a percentage of markup (an approximation of retail markup) and is to be uniformly applied to all of the manufacturer's or distributor's parts (unless otherwise provided in statute). The bill also provides that, in the case of a dealer's claim against a manufacturer, a dealer's failure to comply with the specific requirements of the manufacturer for processing the claim will not void or reduce the amount of the claim so long as the dealer has presented "reasonable documentation" to substantiate the claim and that dealers cannot be charged back for sales incentives or other charges related to vehicles subsequently exported by their purchasers if the dealer had no knowledge of the purchasers' intentions to export the vehicles.
