Relates to used motor vehicles

This bill (S 8430) amends New York's lemon law for new vehicles, extending the warranty coverage period from 2 years/18,000 miles to 3 years/36,000 miles. It updates the mileage deduction formula for refunds (from 12,000 to 20,000 miles) and clarifies "service fees" to include lease interest calculations. The changes directly affect consumers who purchase new vehicles in New York and experience warranty defects, requiring manufacturers to repair issues within specified timeframes or offer replacement/refund options. The bill is currently pending referral to the Rules committee (2025-06-10).
