Provision of notice relative to vehicle warranty

2. a. Within 90 days after the purchase or lease of a new motor vehicle in the State of New Jersey, the motor vehicle manufacturer, distributor, or factory branch shall mail to the buyer or lessee a written statement, presented in a conspicuous and understandable manner and printed in both the English and Spanish languages in not less than 10-point boldface type, and provide a written statement in the vehicle manufacturer's owner's manual, that provides the following: "The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. s.2301 et seq., makes it illegal for motor vehicle manufacturers to void a motor vehicle warranty or deny warranty coverage solely because an aftermarket or recycled part has been used to repair the vehicle or someone other than the authorized service provider performed service on the vehicle. This provision does not apply to a new motor vehicle purchased solely for commercial or industrial use. "Under federal law, a manufacturer may deny warranty coverage and charge for repairs to a vehicle if it is discovered that an aftermarket or recycled part installed on the vehicle is defective or was installed incorrectly and caused damage to another part of the vehicle otherwise covered under warranty. The Federal Trade Commission requires that a manufacturer demonstrate that an aftermarket or recycled part or service performed by a person other than an authorized service provider caused damage to another part of the vehicle otherwise covered under warranty before denying warranty coverage. Additionally, federal law allows a manufacturer to void a motor vehicle warranty or deny warranty coverage if the manufacturer provides the article or service to consumers free of charge under the warranty or the manufacturer has secured a waiver from the Federal Trade Commission." b. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section constitutes an unlawful practice pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1960, c.39 (C.56:8-2). c. As used in this section: "Aftermarket part" means a part that was made by a company other than the motor vehicle manufacturer or the original equipment manufacturer. "Recycled part" means a part that was made for and installed in a new motor vehicle by the manufacturer or the original equipment manufacturer and later removed from the motor vehicle and made available for resale or reuse.
