Kansas overhauled dealer warranty and recall reimbursement procedures

Kansas Senate Bill 39 amended K.S.A. 8-2415 effective July 1, 2019. The amendment replaced the former general reasonable-compensation standard with detailed warranty-service requirements, including compensation for warranty and recall work, dealer retail-rate protections, methods for calculating labor rates and parts markup from customer-pay repair orders, claim-payment timing, and audit and chargeback limits.

What to check

Kansas franchised dealer service departments should base warranty and recall reimbursement submissions on the current K.S.A. 8-2415 procedures, preserve the qualifying customer-pay repair orders used to establish rates and markup, and follow the statute's claim and audit timelines.
