            Subpart F_Dealer and Distributor Responsibilities

 

Sec.  3282.253  Removal of prohibition of sale.



    (a) If a distributor or dealer has a manufactured home in its 

possession or a manufactured home with respect to which the sales 

transaction has not been completed, and the distributor or dealer, 

acting as a reasonable distributor or dealer, knows as a result of 

notification by the manufacturer or otherwise that the manufactured home 

contains a failure to conform or imminent safety hazard, the distributor 

or dealer may seek the remedies available to him under Sec.  3282.415.

    (b) When, in accordance with Sec.  3282.415, a manufacturer corrects 

a failure to conform to the applicable standard or an imminent safety 

hazard, the distributor or dealer, acting as a reasonable distributor or 

dealer, may accept the remedies provided by the manufacturer as having 

corrected the failure to conform or imminent safety hazard. The 

distributor or dealer, therefore, may sell, lease, or offer for sale or 

lease any manufactured home so corrected by the manufacturer.

    (c) When a distributor or dealer is authorized by a manufacturer to 

correct a failure to conform to the applicable standard or an imminent 

safety hazard and completes the correction in accordance with the 

manufacturer's instructions, the distributor or dealer may sell, or 

lease or offer for sale or lease the manufactured home in question, 

provided that the distributor or dealer, acting as a reasonable 

distributor or dealer knows that the manufactured home conforms to the 

standards. A distributor or dealer and a manufacturer, at the 

manufacturer's option, may agree in advance that the distributor or 

dealer is authorized to make such corrections as the manufacturer 

believes are within the expertise of the dealer.

    (d) If the corrections made under paragraphs (b) and (c) of this 

section do not bring the manufactured home into conformance or correct 

the imminent safety hazard, the provisions of Sec.  3282.415 will 

continue in effect prior to completion of the sales transaction.
