Maryland barred mechanical repair contracts from denying claims solely because an issue appears in a TSB

Maryland Chapter 207 of 2025 took effect October 1, 2025. A mechanical repair contract may not contain a provision excluding coverage for an issue identified in a technical service bulletin, and a guarantor or provider may not deny a claim solely because the diagnosed issue appears in a technical service bulletin.

What to check

Maryland dealers and service-contract operations should review contract language and claim-denial procedures so TSB-listed issues are not automatically excluded or denied for that reason alone.
