What are the ways in which a recalled vehicle or equipment item may be remedied?
Once a defect determination is made, the law gives the manufacturer three options for correcting the defect – repair, replacement or refund. The manufacturer may choose to repair the vehicle; replace the vehicle with an identical or similar vehicle; or refund the purchase price in full, minus a reasonable allowance for depreciation. In the case of equipment, including tires, the manufacturer can either repair or replace.
