§ 63-17-215. Inspection and rejection by dealer.
Whenever a new recreational vehicle is damaged before transit to the dealer or is damaged in transit to the dealer when the carrier or means of transportation has been selected by the manufacturer or distributor, the dealer shall notify the manufacturer or distributor of the damage within the timeframe specified in the manufacturer-dealer agreement and: Request from the manufacturer or distributor authorization to replace the components, parts and accessories damaged or otherwise correct the damage; or Reject the vehicle within the timeframe set forth in subsection (4) of this section. If the manufacturer or distributor refuses or fails to authorize repair of such damage within ten (10) days after receipt of notification, or if the dealer rejects the recreational vehicle because of damage, ownership of the new recreational vehicle shall revert to the manufacturer or distributor. The dealer shall exercise due care in custody of the damaged recreational vehicle, but the dealer shall have no other obligations, financial or otherwise, with respect to that recreational vehicle. The timeframe for inspection and rejection by the dealer must be part of the manufacturer-dealer agreement and may not be less than two (2) business days after the physical delivery of the recreational vehicle. Any recreational vehicle that has, at the time of delivery to the dealer, an unreasonable amount of miles on its odometer, as determined by the dealer, may be subject to rejection by the dealer and reversion of the vehicle to the manufacturer or distributor. In no instance shall a dealer deem an amount less than the distance between the dealer and the manufacturer’s factory or a distributor’s point of distribution, plus one hundred (100) miles, as unreasonable.
