Any time spent in the manufacturer's informal dispute settlement procedure does not count against this time limit. Acting promptly ensures you meet all legal requirements.
Remedies include a refund, replacement vehicle, or cash compensation for diminished value and incidental damages. The manufacturer may also be required to cover any additional costs incurred due to the defect. These remedies aim to make the consumer recover damages after purchasing a defective vehicle.
