A 1292 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits rental car companies and used car companies from renting, selling or leasing vehicles that have been recalled due to safety risks

This bill prohibits rental car companies and used car dealers from renting, selling, or leasing vehicles that have been recalled for safety risks. It requires these businesses to wait until a safety defect has been fixed before offering a recalled vehicle, and they must receive official recall notifications (from the Transportation Secretary or manufacturer) before the ban applies. During a rental, if a company learns of a safety recall, it must immediately inform the renter and offer a free replacement vehicle until the defect is resolved. The law directly affects rental companies and used car dealers, aiming to prevent customers from using vehicles with unresolved safety issues.
