Relating to consumer protection of new manufactured home warranties

HB 3228 requires manufacturers of new manufactured homes sold in West Virginia to honor their express warranties by repairing or replacing defective homes at no cost to consumers. It directly affects manufacturers (including importers) and consumers who purchase homes for personal use, ensuring manufacturers bear all costs for repairs or replacements if defects impair use or value after reasonable repair attempts. The bill explicitly prohibits manufacturers from shifting these costs to dealers through contracts, and mandates dealers to disclose major repairs (exceeding 5% of retail price) to consumers. These provisions clarify and strengthen existing warranty enforcement without creating new remedies.
