Relates to requiring motor vehicle dealers to search for recalls and make certain repairs prior to selling a used motor vehicle
This bill requires used car dealers in New York to check for safety recalls on vehicles before selling them. Dealers must make a good-faith effort to identify any outstanding manufacturer or NHTSA recalls and either fix the issues themselves or arrange for repairs to satisfy the recall. It applies directly to dealers selling used vehicles at retail, with violations subject to $5,000 penalties per offense. The law aims to ensure vehicles sold to consumers meet current safety standards before purchase.
