Sec. 28. (a) A new recreational vehicle dealer is liable for damage to a new recreational vehicle after the recreational vehicle is delivered to the carrier or transporter only if the new recreational vehicle dealer selects the method and mode of transportation and the carrier or transporter. In all other instances, the recreational vehicle manufacturer or recreational vehicle distributor is liable for carrier related damage to a new recreational vehicle.
(b) A recreational vehicle dealer that receives a damaged recreational vehicle under this section may:
(1) request authorization from the recreational vehicle manufacturer or recreational vehicle distributor to correct the damage; or
(2) reject the recreational vehicle under subsection (c).
If the recreational vehicle manufacturer or recreational vehicle distributor does not authorize the repair not later than ten (10) days after receiving notice of the damage, or if the recreational vehicle dealer rejects the recreational vehicle because of the damage, ownership of the new recreational vehicle reverts to the recreational vehicle manufacturer or recreational vehicle distributor.
(c) A recreational vehicle dealer may inspect and reject a damaged recreational vehicle in a timely manner as determined by a recreational vehicle dealer agreement, but not less than two (2) business days after the physical delivery of the recreational vehicle.
(d) A recreational vehicle dealer may reject a recreational vehicle that has an unreasonable amount of miles on the odometer. The distance between the recreational vehicle manufacturer's factory or recreational vehicle distributor and the recreational vehicle dealer plus one hundred (100) miles is a reasonable amount of miles on the odometer.
(e) A recreational vehicle dealer shall exercise due care in custody of the damaged recreational vehicle, but the recreational vehicle dealer shall have no other obligations, financial or otherwise, with respect to the damaged recreational vehicle.
