Bill Civil actions: restitution for or replacement of a new motor vehicle. Existing law, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, provides that if a manufacturer of a new motor vehicle, as defined, or the manufacturer's in-state representative, is unable to service or repair the vehicle to conform to the applicable express warranties after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer must either repurchase or replace the vehicle, as specified. Existing law, the Tanner Consumer Protection Act, creates the presumption that a reasonable number of attempts have been made to conform a new motor vehicle to the applicable express warranties if specified conditions are met. Under existing law, the buyer of a new motor vehicle may not assert this presumption until after the buyer has initially resorted to a qualified third-party dispute resolution process, if that process exists and certain additional conditions are met. Existing law provides that if, among other things, a qualified third-party dispute resolution process does not exist, the buyer of a new motor vehicle may assert the above presumption in an action to enforce the buyer's rights under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Existing law provides that the buyer of a new motor vehicle who is damaged by a manufacturer's failure to comply with specified requirements of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act or the Tanner Consumer Protection Act may bring an action for the recovery of damages and other equitable and legal relief. Existing law provides that if the buyer establishes that the manufacturer's failure to comply was willful, the judgment may also include a civil penalty which shall not exceed 2 times the amount of actual damages. us/states/ca California Legislature 20232024 AB 1755 California AB 1755 (20232024)

California AB 1755 (20232024) — Civil actions: restitution for or replacement of a new motor vehicle.

Existing law, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, provides that if a manufacturer of a new motor vehicle, as defined, or the manufacturer's in-state representative, is unable to service or repair the vehicle to conform to the applicable express warranties after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer must either repurchase or replace the vehicle, as specified. Existing law, the Tanner Consumer Protection Act, creates the presumption that a reasonable number of attempts have been made to conform a new motor vehicle to the applicable express warranties if specified conditions are met. Under existing law, the buyer of a new motor vehicle may not assert this presumption until after the buyer has initially resorted to a qualified third-party dispute resolution process, if that process exists and certain additional conditions are met. Existing law provides that if, among other things, a qualified third-party dispute resolution process does not exist, the buyer of a new motor vehicle may assert the above presumption in an action to enforce the buyer's rights under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. Existing law provides that the buyer of a new motor vehicle who is damaged by a manufacturer's failure to comply with specified requirements of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act or the Tanner Consumer Protection Act may bring an action for the recovery of damages and other equitable and legal relief. Existing law provides that if the buyer establishes that the manufacturer's failure to comply was willful, the judgment may also include a civil penalty which shall not exceed 2 times the amount of actual damages.
