§ 47-596.12. Damaged recreational vehicle prior to shipment

A. All of the following conditions apply if a new recreational

vehicle is damaged before it is shipped to a dealer, or is damaged

in transit to the dealer and the manufacturer selected the carrier

or means of transportation:

1. The dealer shall notify the manufacturer of the damage

within the time period specified in the dealer agreement and do one

of the following:

a.

in the notice, request authorization to replace the

components, parts, and accessories damaged, or

otherwise correct the damage, from the manufacturer,

or

b.

reject the recreational vehicle within the time period

specified in the dealer agreement;

2. If the manufacturer refuses or fails to authorize repair of

the damage within ten (10) days after receiving notice under

paragraph 1 of this subsection or if the dealer rejects the

recreational vehicle because of the damage within the time period

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 47. Motor Vehicles

specified in the dealer agreement, ownership of the recreational

vehicle reverts to the manufacturer; and

3. The dealer shall exercise due care in the custody of the

damaged recreational vehicle; provided, the dealer shall have no

financial or other obligation with respect to that recreational

vehicle.

B. A dealer agreement shall include a time period for

inspection and rejection of damaged recreational vehicles under

subsection A of this section that is not less than two (2) business

days after the physical delivery of the recreational vehicle to the

dealer.

C. If a dealer determines that a new recreational vehicle has

an unreasonable number of miles on the odometer at the time the

recreational vehicle is delivered to the dealer, the dealer may

reject the recreational vehicle and said ownership of the

recreational vehicle shall revert to the manufacturer. However, if

the number of miles on the odometer of the recreational vehicle is

less than the sum of the distance between the dealer and the factory

of the manufacturer or point of distribution plus one hundred (100)

miles, the dealer may not consider the number of miles on the

odometer unreasonable for purposes of this subsection.
