  1. If a manufacturer issues a recall and either a stop-sale order or a do-not-drive order on a used vehicle and parts or a remedy are not available to perform a recall service or repair on the vehicle within 30 days after issuing the recall, a new vehicle dealer that is franchised to sell and service new vehicles of the manufacturer is entitled to compensation from the manufacturer and may file a claim with the manufacturer for each used vehicle subject to the recall which the dealer:  (a) Has in its used vehicle inventory on the date on which the stop-sale order or do-not-drive order is issued; or  (b) Takes into its used car inventory as a consumer trade-in related to the sale of a new vehicle after the date on which the stop-sale order or do-not-drive order is issued.  2. A claim for compensation that is filed by a new vehicle dealer pursuant to this section:  (a) Must be in a form prescribed by the manufacturer. The manufacturer may prescribe the manner in which a dealer must demonstrate eligibility for such compensation, including, without limitation, the documentation required to show the inventory status of a used vehicle, provided that the demonstration of eligibility or the providing of documentation is not unduly burdensome.  (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5, is subject to the provisions of NRS 482.36385.  3. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 4 and 5, compensation for a used vehicle pursuant to this section must be calculated at a rate of not less than 1 percent of the value of the used vehicle per month, beginning 30 days after the date on which the stop-sale order or do-not-drive order is provided to the dealer and continuing until the earlier of the date:  (a) The parts or a remedy for the recall service or repair are made available to the dealer; or  (b) The dealer sells, trades or otherwise disposes of the used vehicle.  4. Compensation due to a new vehicle dealer pursuant to subsection 1 is limited to an amount equal to the value of the used vehicle for which the compensation is paid.  5. A manufacturer, in lieu of compensating a new vehicle dealer pursuant to subsection 3, may:  (a) Compensate the dealer pursuant to a national recall compensation program, if the amount of compensation owed to the dealer under the program is not less than the amount of compensation owed to the dealer pursuant to subsection 3; or  (b) Enter into an agreement with the dealer for an alternative form or amount of compensation.  6. A manufacturer may not take any action to offset or reduce the amount of compensation owed to a new vehicle dealer pursuant to this section, including, without limitation, through a chargeback program, any reduction in an amount owed to the new vehicle dealer under an incentive program or the removal of the new vehicle dealer from an incentive program, if such action is taken, in whole or in part, because the new vehicle dealer filed a claim for compensation pursuant to this section. This subsection:  (a) Does not apply to any action taken by a manufacturer that is applied uniformly to all new vehicle dealers of the same line and make of vehicles in this State; and  (b) Is subject to the audit provisions of subsections 7 and 8 of NRS 482.36385.  7. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 5 and NRS 482.36385, any compensation provided to a new vehicle dealer pursuant to this section is exclusive and may not be combined with any other state or federal recall compensation remedy.  8.

(b) "Recall" means a safety recall of a vehicle in accordance with federal law and any regulations adopted thereunder.  (c) "Stop-sale order" means a notification issued by a manufacturer to its dealers stating that a used vehicle in inventory must not be sold or leased, either retail or wholesale, because of a federal safety recall for a defect or noncompliance or because of a federal emissions recall.  (d) "Value of the used vehicle" means the average trade-in value of the year, make and model of the subject used vehicle as indicated in an independent third-party guide.  (Added to NRS by 2017, 1539)
