Maine LD547 modifies motor vehicle inspection standards to permit exterior, nonstructural corrosion that does not affect the passenger compartment.
Maine LD547 amends the motor vehicle inspection standards to exclude exterior, nonstructural corrosion from the criteria for vehicle rejection. This means that vehicles with corrosion on parts like the hood, trunk, hatch, door, fender, rocker panel, or pickup bed will not be rejected if the corrosion does not compromise the vehicle's frame or mechanical components necessary for safe operation. The definition of "exterior, nonstructural corrosion" includes corrosion that has resulted in a hole or aperture in the body component.
