Action Alert
Consumers face a lack of flexibility in repair shop choice for almost every new product they purchase, from phones to tractors and, for AMA members, motorcycles. This issue, collectively known as "Right to Repair", is the idea that when you buy something, you have the right to repair it yourself or seek an independent repair shop to do the work. Proposed legislation in Congress would require manufacturers to make parts and information needed for these repairs available to the public at a fair price.
This year, Representative Neal Dunn reintroduced the Repair Act, H.R. 1566, with minor changes related to the repair of autonomous vehicles and data privacy. It is in the interest of motorcycle safety that autonomous vehicles receive precise and expert repairs.
Similar legislation,S. 1379, co-sponsored by Senators Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM) and Josh Hawley (R-MO), was introduced in the U.S. Senate on April 9. This bill aims to ensure consumers have access to data relating to their motor vehicles and critical repair information. Additionally, S.1379 will also provide consumers with choices for maintaining and repairing their motor vehicles.
The independent aftermarket is an essential economic engine in every congressional district and state across the nation, with more than 4,500,000 employees and a fiscal impact of more than $600 billion annually. The REPAIR Act eliminates an existential threat to these jobs and the economy, while ensuring a robust ecosystem of repair options.
Republicans and Democrats both agree this legislation is important for consumers to make repair decisions best suited for their situation. The AMA will continue to provide updates on this bi-partisan bill and protect your right to repair.
