Consumer Protection - Agricultural Equipment Warranties

Summary

The bill makes a consumer give written notice by certified mail when a farm machine fails to meet its warranty, and it forces the maker or dealer to fix the problem at no cost within 30 days. If the defect can’t be cured after several attempts, the buyer can demand a comparable replacement or a full refund, and a court may award up to $5,000 for bad‑faith conduct. Violations are treated as unfair trade practices under Maryland’s consumer‑protection law.
