What Is The Manufacturers' Duty To Repair?

If a motor vehicle does not conform to all applicable express warranties, and the consumer reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer, its agent or authorized dealer during the shorter of the following:

  • the term of the express warranty, OR
  • the period of two years or 24,000 miles following the date of the motor vehicle`s original delivery to the consumer, whichever is earlier;
  • then the manufacturer, its agent, an authorized dealer or the issuer of the warranty must make the necessary repairs to conform the motor vehicle to the express warranty.

The necessary repairs must be made even if the term of the warranty, the two year period, or the 24,000 mile period has expired.
