LouisianaAll-terrain vehicle dealers would follow repair and disclosure rules
The enrolled measure would require all-terrain vehicle and golf cart dealers to arrange repair service and warn buyers when remote facilities handle warranty work.
What it does
All-terrain vehicle and golf cart dealers would need repair and parts arrangements, such as nearby facilities, qualified warranty providers, or manufacturer-authorized service.
Before completing a sale or financing agreement, dealers would disclose when remote facilities mainly handle warranty work and keep the buyer's acknowledgment.
Failing to maintain the required repair arrangements or follow the related rules would be listed as a violation for all-terrain vehicle dealers.
Argument forSeveral repair options could let dealers serve buyers through nearby facilities or qualified warranty providers instead of building every service operation onsite.
Argument againstBuyers may have to transport an all-terrain vehicle to a remote facility, while dealers must provide disclosures and keep records before completing sales.
More detail
All-terrain vehicle dealers, including golf cart dealers, would have to maintain repair and parts arrangements that meet one of several listed options. The rules cover dealers of all-terrain vehicles and golf carts seeking or holding a dealer license. A dealer could use repair facilities at the business or within 1,000 feet. A dealer could instead use an in-state third-party warranty provider within 40 miles, arrange service through the manufacturer, or use a manufacturer-authorized service provider. Dealers using a remote service facility would have to give buyers warranty information and written disclosure before the sale or financing agreement. The supplied text does not state when these requirements would begin.
A dealer would have to tell the buyer in writing before sale or financing when warranty service would mainly use a remote facility, and keep the buyer's signed acknowledgment. This applies to dealers of all-terrain vehicles, including golf carts, when a contract sends most warranty repair or service to a remote facility. The disclosure would name the facility, give its address and approximate distance, and warn that the vehicle may need transportation there. The dealer would keep the acknowledgment for three years or until the warranty ends, whichever is shorter. A dealer acting in good faith with accurate information at the sale would not be responsible for later changes to the service provider. The disclosure and signed acknowledgment would be required before the sale or financing agreement is completed.
An all-terrain vehicle dealer would violate the law by failing to maintain the required repair facilities or otherwise follow the listed repair rules. This applies to dealers of all-terrain vehicles, including golf carts. The violation applies to the repair and servicing requirements described for all-terrain vehicle dealers. The supplied text does not state a specific penalty for this violation. The supplied text does not state when this violation provision would begin.
