Where this section sits in the code
  1. General Business Law
  2. Article 35-A. Aftermarket Rustproofing Warranties of New Motor Vehicles

§ 732. Written warranty; contents. The aftermarket rustproofing

warranty required by this article must contain the following terms:

1. Defects. The body sheet metal, structural members and frame of the

motor vehicle are warranted not to rust through from the inside out

during the warranty period specified.

2. Corrective action.

(a) The warrantor will, as a minimum remedy, make repairs or indemnify

the buyer for the actual cost of repairing any rust damage covered by

the warranty.

(b) The warrantor will honor all valid claims under the warranty

regardless of their number.

(c) Nothing contained in this section shall be deemed to preclude a

warrantor from entering into a contract requiring a financially solvent

applicator to be initially responsible for the cost of any corrective

action as a result of the negligence of the applicator of the

aftermarket rustproofing.

3. Length of warranty. This warranty shall be valid for a period of

not less than five years from the date of the application of the

aftermarket rustproofing, provided, however, that this section shall not

be construed as to extend this warranty to a person who is a subsequent

transferee of the buyer.
