Sec.  577.2  Purpose.

    The purpose of this part is to ensure that notifications of defects 
or noncompliances adequately inform and effectively motivate owners of 
potentially defective or noncomplying motor vehicles or items of 
replacement equipment to have such vehicles or equipment inspected and, 
where necessary, remedied as quickly as possible. It is also to ensure 
that dealers and distributors of motor vehicles and items of replacement 
equipment are made aware of the existence of defects and noncompliances 
and of their rights and responsibilities with regard thereto.
