AN ACT CONCERNING USED MOTOR VEHICLE WARRANTIES.

HB 5561 extends the minimum warranty period for used vehicles and broadens the coverage included in those warranties. It gives buyers the right to return a defective used car if repairs fail three times or the vehicle is out of service for more than 11 business days during the warranty term. The bill also requires dealers to use binding arbitration for warranty disputes and increases penalties for dealers who don’t follow these rules. This directly affects used car buyers and dealers who sell vehicles covered by these warranties.
