  • Section 23 of the general business law

    f. (1) No motor vehicle, which has been manufactured on or after September first, nineteen hundred ninety-seven, shall be sold by an automobile auctioneer, retail dealer or individual seller unless they have disclosed to the buyer whether the vehicle is missing an inflatable restraint system or contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint system. If the vehicle is missing an inflatable restraint system or contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint system the disclosure of the status of the vehicle's inflatable restraint system shall be made by the auctioneer, retail dealer or individual seller: (i) in a written disclosure made in not less than ten-point bold face type and appearing on the front of the sales contract, receipt, invoice, or other document used in connection with the sale of the vehicle that shall set forth whether the vehicle is missing an inflatable restraint system or contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint system; and (ii) by affixing a conspicuous sign to the windshield of each vehicle offered for sale, sold or made available for inspection prior to auction that shall disclose that the vehicle either is missing an inflatable restraint system or contains a non-functioning inflatable restraint system. (2) Receipt of notice pursuant to this paragraph shall not in any way bar, preclude or foreclose any action for personal injury or wrongful death by or on behalf of any person, nor in any way diminish, reduce or be used to mitigate or diminish the damages recoverable in any such italics action, nor shall receipt of notice be used as evidence of culpable conduct in any action for personal injury or wrongful death. (3) The automobile auctioneer, retail dealer or individual seller shall, by electronic means or in person, forward or present to the department of motor vehicles that such disclosure of the airbag restraint system and compliance was acknowledged by both parties. If the disclosure is not fulfilled, then the vehicle offered for sale may not be sold or transferred.
