Overview
This bill requires car dealerships in New Jersey to notify potential buyers of any outstanding recalls on used motor vehicles they are selling. Dealers must check for recalls using information from the vehicle manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and inform buyers about the recall status before finalizing the sale. The bill also establishes a legal presumption that a dealer had no knowledge of a recall if the NHTSA website indicated no open recalls based on the vehicle’s VIN.
