NADA strongly supports full disclosure of vehicles repurchased due to defects.
As the FTC is no doubt aware, it is very difficult to draw a bright line to determine which vehicles repurchased by manufacturers should trigger a disclosure requirement to subsequent customers. This difficulty is demonstrated by the diverse treatment these disclosure issues are given by the various state lemon laws. NADA believes that, while we support disclosure of buyback vehicles, the requirement of when to disclose that a vehicle is a buyback must be clear and definite. The disclosure should not unfairly taint a vehicle as defective when it has been repurchased as an effort to preserve goodwill and there is no alleged or actual defect in the vehicle. NADA is fully supportive of the efforts that manufacturers have made in recent years to address customer's problems with vehicles, which may be real or perceived, in a timely fashion.
