Digest
SB 1917 expands protections for motor vehicle franchised dealers, requiring vehicle manufacturers and distributors to fairly compensate dealers for warranty, recall, over-the-air software updates, and vehicle delivery work. The bill establishes minimum reimbursement rates and restricts manufacturers from underpaying dealers compared to what they charge retail customers. It also prevents manufacturers from imposing hidden fees or reducing wholesale pricing to offset required dealer compensation​.
