Requires dealerships to notify buyers of recalls on used motor vehicles for sales; limits attorneys' fees in certain consumer actions.

S 1199 requires used car dealers in New Jersey to check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website for open recalls before selling a vehicle and to inform buyers about any outstanding recalls, providing printed recall details. Dealers may not sell vehicles subject to "stop sale" or "do not drive" orders from NHTSA. The bill creates a legal presumption that dealers had no knowledge of recalls if NHTSA’s website showed none after a VIN check, shielding them from liability for website errors. Additionally, it limits attorney fees in consumer lawsuits to $1,000 or one-third of awarded damages, capping recovery in cases involving dealer violations of consumer protection laws.
