AR HB1917

Adds definition of "stop-sale order" or "do-not-drive order" as manufacturer notification prohibiting sale or lease of used vehicles due to federal safety or emissions recalls.

Requires manufacturers to compensate dealers at 1.25% of vehicle value per month (beginning 30 days after stop-sale order) when recall parts remain unavailable for 30+ days, until parts become available or vehicle is sold.

Prohibits manufacturers from reducing dealer compensation through chargebacks, incentive program removal, or reductions in response to recall reimbursement claims, unless reductions apply uniformly to all same line-make dealers in the state.

Allows dealers to use non-certified service technicians for warranty work if manufacturer pre-approves the request and work is supervised by a certified technician, with exceptions for safety recalls and high-performance vehicles.

Extends facility improvement replacement requirement from 7 years to 10 years and repeals provision allowing manufacturer operation of dealership when no prospective buyer is available.
