Ohio revises lemon law, reflecting Japan disaster

Associated Press, 07.15.11, 01:18 PM EDT
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio has made some changes in its new-car "lemon law" on a request from automakers still struggling to get repair parts in the aftermath of this year's earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
A revision in the law offering consumer protections to buyers of troublesome new vehicles was tucked into the new state budget that took effect at the beginning of the month. It cuts car companies some slack if a natural disaster or riot makes it tough for them to get parts to fix a defective vehicle, The Columbus Dispatch reported Friday.
"What happened in Japan is such a huge issue, with so many parts and vehicle plants that were affected by the tsunami," said Scott Corbitt, director of policy and legislation for the Ohio attorney general's office.

In such occasions, the law now allows an unspecified amount of extra time for repairs before the car company is required to permanently replace the vehicle or pay a refund. However, during the extended wait, the car's owner must be provided with a loaner vehicle, Corbitt told the Dispatch.
A consortium of automakers sought the change, citing parts manufacturing delays in Japan following the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country's northeast coast on March 11.
The Ohio law's new wrinkle is called a "fair trade-off" by consumer watchdog Kip Morse, president of the Better Business Bureau of Central Ohio.
