PART 20_GUIDES FOR THE REBUILT, RECONDITIONED AND OTHER USED AUTOMOBILE 
PARTS INDUSTRY--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 20.3  Misrepresentation of the terms ``rebuilt,'' ``factory 
rebuilt,'' ``remanufactured,'' etc.

    (a) It is unfair or deceptive to use the words ``Rebuilt,'' 
``Remanufactured,'' or words of similar import, to describe an industry 
product which, since it was last subjected to any use, has not been 
dismantled and reconstructed as necessary, all of its internal and 
external parts cleaned and made rust and corrosion free, all impaired, 
defective or substantially worn parts restored to a sound condition or 
replaced with new, rebuilt (in accord with the provisions of this 
paragraph) or unimpaired used parts, all missing parts replaced with 
new, rebuilt or unimpaired used parts, and such rewinding or machining 
and other operations performed as are necessary to put the industry 
product in sound working condition.
    (b) It is unfair or deceptive to represent an industry product as 
``Factory Rebuilt'' unless the product was rebuilt as described in 
paragraph (a) of this section at a factory generally engaged in the 
rebuilding of such products. (See also Sec. 20.2.)
