Summary
This act should be known as the" Motor Vehicle Owners Right To Repair Act of 2009". This act finds that the ability to diagnose, service, and repair a motor vehicle in a timely, reliable, and affordable manner is essential to the safety and well being of automotive consumers in the State of New York. In many instances, vehicle access codes prevent owners from making the necessary diagnosis, service, and repair of motor vehicles in a timely, conven- ient, reliable and affordable manner. These access codes or special equipment retained by the manufacturer shall now be provided to the motor vehicle owners and the motor vehicle repair shops when the vehi- cle's consumers wishes to seek repairs for their vehicles. Consumers in New York have always benefited from the availability of an aftermarket parts supply, or parts and accessories used in the repair, maintenance, or enhancement of a motor vehicle.
