A.  All of the following conditions apply if a new recreational
vehicle is damaged before it is shipped to a dealer, or is damaged
in transit to the dealer and the manufacturer selected the carrier
or means of transportation:
1.  The dealer shall notify the manufacturer of the damage
within the time period specified in the dealer agreement and do one
of the following:
a. in the notice, request authorization to replace the
components, parts, and accessories damaged, or
otherwise correct the damage, from the manufacturer,
or
b. reject the recreational vehicle within the time period
specified in the dealer agreement;
2.  If the manufacturer refuses or fails to authorize repair of
the damage within ten (10) days after receiving notice under
paragraph 1 of this subsection or if the dealer rejects the
recreational vehicle because of the damage within the time period

specified in the dealer agreement, ownership of the recreational
vehicle reverts to the manufacturer; and
3.  The dealer shall exercise due care in the custody of the
damaged recreational vehicle; provided, the dealer shall have no
financial or other obligation with respect to that recreational
vehicle.
B.  A dealer agreement shall include a time period for
inspection and rejection of damaged recreational vehicles under
subsection A of this section that is not less than two (2) business
days after the physical delivery of the recreational vehicle to the
dealer.
C.  If a dealer determines that a new recreational vehicle has
an unreasonable number of miles on the odometer at the time the
recreational vehicle is delivered to the dealer, the dealer may
reject the recreational vehicle and said ownership of the
recreational vehicle shall revert to the manufacturer.  However, if
the number of miles on the odometer of the recreational vehicle is
less than the sum of the distance between the dealer and the factory
of the manufacturer or point of distribution plus one hundred (100)
miles, the dealer may not consider the number of miles on the
odometer unreasonable for purposes of this subsection.
