Magnuson Moss Warranty Act: know the act to avail your rights


Brought into effect in 1975, the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act covers statutes in case of consumer product warranties. The act insists on the manufactures and the sellers to cover the right warranty for the products that the people purchase. With the act the consumers can file for a claim for a lemon car and claim suitable compensation.

What does the Act cover?

The act will not require the written warranties from the manufactures and the sellers, but the act will insist them to offer written warranty to disclose and mention the terms to the buyer. The act applies to the product and not to the warranties. Further, the act covers only for the warranties on the products of the customers. That is, it will not apply to the properties that are resold or commercial purposes.

Requirements of the act

  • The act specifies the requirements that the warrantors should meet. Other basic three requirements of the Magnuson Moss Act are,
  • Warrantors should state some information about the parts, components, or machinery that the warranty will cover. This should be done in in a single document in legible language.

The law insists the manufacturers or the sellers to designate or title a clearly written warranty and that might be either limited or full

They should ensure that the warranty is active/ applicable at the time of the buyer purchasing the product.

Final thoughts

Understanding the Magnuson Moss Act comes in handy when a person cannot claim relief under the state lemon laws and needs an option to be recompensed for all the troubles of buying a faulty vehicle.
