stating:
"NEW CAR DEALER NOTICE ON WARRANTY
This bill requires new car dealers to deliver to the purchaser of a new vehicle, at the time of sale, the following written statement in at least 10-point boldface type:
"The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 USC 2301 et seq. , makes it illegal for motor vehicle manufacturers or dealers to void a motor vehicle warranty or deny coverage under the motor vehicle warranty simply because an aftermarket or recycled part was installed or used on the vehicle or simply because someone other than the dealer performed service on the vehicle. It is illegal for a manufacturer or dealer to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty simply because you used an aftermarket or recycled part. If it turns out that an aftermarket or recycled part was itself defective or wasn't installed correctly and it causes damage to another part that is covered under the warranty, the manufacturer or dealer has the right to deny coverage for that part and charge you for any repairs. The Federal Trade Commission requires the manufacturer or dealer to show that the aftermarket or recycled part caused the need for repairs before denying warranty coverage. "
Under the bill, an “aftermarket part” is one made by a company other than the vehicle manufacturer or original equipment manufacturer and a “recycled part” is a part made for and installed in a new vehicle by the manufacturer or the original equipment manufacturer and later removed from the vehicle and made available for resale or reuse.
The bill does not specify any penalties for failing to provide the notice."
