The revised Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act

Coalition: Safe Rental Car Coalition

Consumer Action joined advocates in support of the revised Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act, which will require that rental car companies ground vehicles that are subject to a safety recall, until they are fixed.

This revised agreement will be a major improvement in auto safety, particularly since rental car companies are the largest purchasers of new vehicles in the nation. We hope that with enactment of this measure, consumers who rent or purchase rental cars, either as new or used vehicles, can do so with confidence that the vehicles do not have latent safety defects that are subject to a safety recall.
