82New Hampshire Consumer Notice
The New Hampshire New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law, RSA 357-D, applies to new motor vehicles sold or leased
(for two or more years) and/or registered in the State of New Hampshir\
e. A new motor vehicle is defined as a

tantially impairs the use, market value, or
safety or this vehicle, and it has not been successfully repaired after \
three repair attempts by the manufacturer, its agent,
or an authorized dealer, or it has been out of service by reason of repair of one or more nonco\
nformities, defects, or
conditions for a cumulative total of thirty business days, you may be en\
titled to apply for a comparable replacement or
a refund of purchase price plus incidental damages less a reasonable all\
owance for use.
In order for a repair attempt to qualify, you must obtain a written repair order. Neither the manufacturer nor any agent
of the manufacturer (including the dealership service) may refuse to p\
rovide you with a written repair order at your
request.
The vehicle is deemed to be out of service if it is in for repair for a \
majority of the day.
You cannot use the New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law if you elect to use the manufacturer’s dispute settlement
mechanism. Forms for electing to proceed before the New Hampshire Motor \
Vehicle Arbitration Board should be
included with your new vehicle on delivery.
Y ou may not use the New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law if you have stopped making payments on any lease \
