Okla. Stat. tit. 15, § 15-901

A. As used in this section:

1. "Consumer" means the purchaser, other than for purposes of

resale, of a motor vehicle, any person to whom such motor vehicle is

transferred during the duration of an express warranty applicable to

such motor vehicle, and any other person entitled by the terms of

such warranty to enforce the obligations of the warranty; and

2. "Motor vehicle" means any motor-driven vehicle required to

be registered under the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle License and

Registration Act, excluding vehicles above ten thousand (10,000)

pounds gross vehicle weight. A recreational vehicle, as defined in

Section 1-152.1 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, regardless of

the weight of the recreational vehicle, shall be considered a motor

vehicle for the purposes of this section.

B. For the purposes of this act, if a new motor vehicle does

not conform to all applicable express warranties, and the consumer

reports the nonconformity, directly in writing, to the manufacturer,

its agent or its authorized dealer during the term of such express

warranties or during the period of one (1) year following the date

of original delivery of the motor vehicle to a consumer, whichever

is the earlier date, the manufacturer, its agent or its authorized

dealer shall make such repairs as are necessary to conform the

vehicle to such express warranties, notwithstanding the fact that

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 15. Contracts Page 212

such repairs are made after the expiration of such term or such one-

year period.

C. If the manufacturer, or its agents or authorized dealers are

unable to conform the motor vehicle to any applicable express

warranty by repairing or correcting any defect or condition which

substantially impairs the use and value of the motor vehicle to the

consumer after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer

shall either accept a return of the vehicle from the consumer and

refund to the consumer the full purchase price including all taxes,

license, registration fees and all similar governmental fees,

excluding interest, less a reasonable allowance for the consumer's

use of the vehicle or replace the motor vehicle with a comparable

new model acceptable to the consumer. If a comparable model vehicle

cannot be agreed upon, the purchase price shall be refunded less a

reasonable allowance for the consumer's use of the vehicle. Refunds

shall be made to the consumer, and lienholder if any, as their

interests may appear. A reasonable allowance for use shall be the

purchase or lease price of the new motor vehicle multiplied by a

fraction having as the denominator one hundred twenty thousand

(120,000) miles and having as the numerator the miles directly

attributable to use by the consumer beyond fifteen thousand (15,000)

miles. It shall be an affirmative defense to any claim under this

act:

1. That an alleged nonconformity does not substantially impair

such use and value; or

2. That a nonconformity is the result of abuse, neglect or

unauthorized modifications or alterations of a motor vehicle.

In no event shall the presumption described in this subsection

apply against a manufacturer unless the manufacturer has received

prior direct written notification from or on behalf of the consumer

and has had an opportunity to cure the defect alleged.

D. It shall be presumed that a reasonable number of attempts

have been undertaken to conform a motor vehicle to the applicable

express warranties, if:

1. The same nonconformity has been subject to repair four or

more times by the manufacturer or its agents or authorized dealers

within the express warranty term or during the period of one (1)

year following the date of original delivery of the motor vehicle to

a consumer, whichever is the earlier date, but such nonconformity

continues to exist; or

2. The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair for a

cumulative total of thirty (30) business days during such term or
nufacturer or its agents or authorized dealers

within the express warranty term or during the period of one (1)

year following the date of original delivery of the motor vehicle to

a consumer, whichever is the earlier date, but such nonconformity

continues to exist; or

2. The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair for a

cumulative total of thirty (30) business days during such term or

during such period, whichever is the earlier date.

The term of an express warranty, such one-year period and such

thirty-day period shall be extended by any period of time during

which repair services are not available to the consumer because of a

war, invasion, strike, fire, flood or other natural disaster.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 15. Contracts Page 213

E. Nothing in this act shall in any way limit the rights or

remedies which are otherwise available to a consumer under any other

law.

F. If a manufacturer has established an informal dispute

settlement procedure which complies in all respects with the

provisions of Title 16, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 703, as

from time to time amended, the provisions of subsection C of this

section concerning refunds or replacement shall not apply to any

consumer who has not first resorted to such procedure.

G. The Oklahoma Attorney General shall prepare and place on the

Attorney General's website a written statement explaining the rights

of a purchaser under this law. The dealer shall provide to the

purchaser at the time of the original purchase of a new motor

vehicle the written statement prepared by the Attorney General.

H. Vehicles returned pursuant to the provisions of this act may

not be resold in this state unless:

1. The manufacturer provides the same express warranty the

manufacturer provided the original purchaser, except that the term

of the warranty need only last for twelve thousand (12,000) miles or

twelve (12) months after the date of resale, whichever is earlier;

or

2. The manufacturer, through the licensed dealer, provides the

consumer with a written statement on a separate piece of paper that

clearly discloses the reason or reasons the vehicle was reacquired

by the manufacturer.

I. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection H of this

section, returned vehicles shall not be resold if a new motor

vehicle has been returned pursuant to the provisions of this act or

a similar statute in another state because of nonconformity

resulting in a complete failure of the braking or steering system

likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is

driven.

J. In any civil action pursuant to this section wherein the

consumer is the prevailing party in the civil action, the consumer

shall recover all costs and reasonable attorney fees as determined

by the court.
