New Jersey S509 mandates dealerships to inform buyers of any outstanding recalls on used vehicles before sale.
New Jersey S509 requires car dealerships to notify buyers of any recalls on used vehicles they intend to sell. Dealers must check with the vehicle manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to identify any unresolved recalls. If a recall is found, the dealer must inform the buyer, including whether the recall has been addressed. The bill presumes a dealer has no knowledge of a recall if they checked the NHTSA website and found no open recalls for the vehicle. This presumption does not impose any duty on dealers regarding the accuracy of the NHTSA website.
