Another bill was created to help consumers when buying a car. If approved the draft Law 4883/2012, utilities will have to personally notify the buyer about the car that recalls are announced by a manufacturer, importer or distributor of the vehicle.
Currently, if a product has problem, manufacturers and suppliers must report it immediately to the authorities and consumers through advertisements for print, digital and television. This bill does not change this obligation, however, adds one more way that the consumer should be warned: personal notification.
To Isabella Mint Braga, an attorney and expert in Civil Procedure Consumer Law, this change may bring more problems than solutions. "If the recall is done after six months of purchase, for example, the consumer may have sold the car to a third party. In this case, the notification does not reach those who need to get it, "he says.
She stresses that it is required to present proof of attendance to the recall, if the owner wishes to sell the car. Also no impediment to license the vehicle should not have been done the recall within one year. "However, put aside the problems that can arise if the project is approved, this duty created for the dealership is complementary and does not transfer to it the responsibility for any defects or damage to the consumer buyer who remain on the manufacturer and supplier, who will announce the recall through advertising available, "he explains.
