What is the NH new motor vehicle arbitration law?
The NH New Motor Vehicle Arbitration program (RSA 357-D) is commonly referred to as the NH “Lemon Law.” The purpose of the law is to provide a consumer with an efficient and informal process with which to resolve new motor vehicle warranty problems. The New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board (MVAB) is administratively attached to the DMV and consists of consumer representatives, a new car dealer, and an automotive expert. The jurisdiction of the MVAB is to determine whether a new motor vehicle or off-highway recreational vehicle (OHRV), motorcycle or snowmobile has a defect that substantially impairs its use, market value, or safety.
