N.J.S.A. 56:12-34 provides that “at the time of purchase in the State of New Jersey, the manufacturer, or, in the case of an authorized emergency vehicle, the manufacturer, co‑manufacturer, or post-manufacturing modifier, through its dealer or distributor, or at the time of lease in the State of New Jersey, the lessor, shall provide directly to the consumer a written statement prescribed by the director, presented in a conspicuous and understandable manner on a separate piece of paper and printed in both the English and Spanish languages.” The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs promulgated regulations setting forth rules for advising purchasers of their rights under the Lemon Law and specifying the form of notice that must be given. The two-page long notice in English and Spanish must be on a separate sheet of paper and not combined with the Retail Order Form (or any other document) and must be in at least 10-point, bold-faced type. A record that the customer received this notice must also be kept by the dealership. A copy of the notice with a signature where the customer acknowledged receipt meets this requirement. The New Car Lemon Law Notice (SKU: 150B) can be ordered by calling NJ CAR Services (609) 883-5056, x402 and from various Dealer Management Systems (DMS). The form can also be ordered on the NJ CAR Services website (njcarservices.com). Greyson Hannigan is NJ CAR’s Director of Legal & Regulatory Affairs. He can be reached at ghannigan@njcar.org.
