HD 1216 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to vehicle warranty fulfillment

This bill requires auto dealers and private sellers to honor optional pre-paid manufacturer vehicle warranties when reselling a vehicle. Specifically, the warranty tied to the vehicle's VIN must remain valid until the original mileage or time limit expires. It directly affects dealers and private individuals who buy vehicles for resale. The key provision ensures that buyers of used vehicles receive the full benefit of any existing, paid manufacturer warranty, preventing dealers from voiding these warranties upon resale.
