30-14-1204 . Replacement for nonconformity to warranty.
(1)If, after a reasonable number of attempts to repair the nonconformity during the warranty period, the manufacturer or the wheelchair dealer is unable to conform the wheelchair to the warranty by repairing or correcting the nonconformity, the manufacturer shall, at the direction of the consumer either:
(a)replace the wheelchair with a new wheelchair of the same model and style and of comparable value, unless the replacement is impossible because of lack of availability, in which case the manufacturer shall replace it with a wheelchair of similar functional benefit and comparable value. Additionally, the manufacturer shall refund any finance charges and collateral costs to the consumer.
(b)accept return of the wheelchair from the consumer and refund the full purchase price or the total of all lease payments, plus any finance charges, collateral costs, and incidental damages, less a reasonable allowance for the consumer's use of the wheelchair. A reasonable allowance for use may not exceed an amount obtained by multiplying the purchase price by a fraction with a denominator of 1,825 and a numerator of the number of days the wheelchair was usable before the consumer first reported the nonconformity to the wheelchair dealer. A person may not enforce a lease against the consumer after the consumer returns a wheelchair under this subsection.
(2)A manufacturer who replaces a wheelchair in accordance with subsection (1)(a) or refunds the purchase price of a wheelchair in accordance with subsection (1)(b) shall also refund to the dealer the dealer's reasonable costs of the exchange or refund.
(3)A wheelchair returned by a consumer in this state pursuant to this section or by a consumer in another state under a similar law of the other state may not be sold or leased again in this state unless a full disclosure is made to a prospective consumer of the reasons for the return.
