Tennessee's current aftermarket crash-parts rule took effect

Tennessee's current Chapter 0780-01-59 took effect July 12, 2005 after a repeal and rewrite of the earlier rule. It requires identification and disclosure when an insurer specifies non-OEM aftermarket crash parts and prohibits their use on current-model and immediately prior-model-year vehicles without express permission from the insured or third-party claimant.

What to check

Tennessee collision shops should verify insurer estimates identify non-OEM parts and obtain or confirm express claimant permission before such parts are used on current- or immediately prior-model-year vehicles.
