motor vehicle does not conform to all of the manufacturer's applicable express
warranties and the buyer reports the nonconformity in writing to the
manufacturer:
1. Before the expiration of the manufacturer's express warranties; or
2. No later than 1 year after the date the motor vehicle is delivered to the

NRS 597.620 Submission of claim to manufacturer for replacement or refund
according to designated procedure. If the manufacturer has established or
designated a procedure for settling disputes informally which substantially
complies with the provisions of Title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations,

vehicle or for refund of the purchase price under that procedure before bringing
any action under NRS 597.630.

NRS 597.630 Duties of manufacturer if motor vehicle cannot be conformed to
express warranties.
1. If, after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer, or its agent or
authorized dealer is unable to conform the motor vehicle to any applicable
express warranty by repair or correction and the defect or condition causing the
nonconformity substantially impairs the use and value of the motor vehicle to
the buyer and is not the result of abuse, neglect or unauthorized modifications
or alterations of the motor vehicle, the manufacturer shall:
(a) Replace the motor vehicle with a comparable motor vehicle of the same model
and having the same features as the replaced vehicle, or if such a vehicle
cannot be delivered to the buyer within a reasonable time, then a comparable
motor vehicle substantially similar to the replaced vehicle; or
(b) Accept return of the motor vehicle from the buyer and refund to him the full
purchase price including all sales taxes, license fees, registration fees and
other similar governmental charges, less a reasonable allowance for his use of
the vehicle. A reasonable allowance for use is that amount directly attributable
to use by the buyer before his first report of the nonconformity to the
manufacturer, agent or dealer and during any subsequent period when the vehicle
is not out of service for repairs. Refunds must be made to the buyer, and
lienholder if any, as their interests may appear.
2. It is presumed that a reasonable number of attempts have been undertaken to
conform a motor vehicle to the applicable express warranties where:
(a) The same nonconformity has been subject to repair four or more times by the
manufacturer, or its agent or authorized dealer within the time the express
warranty is in effect or within 1 year following the date the motor vehicle is
delivered to the original buyer, whichever occurs earlier, but the nonconformity
continues to exist; or
(b) The motor vehicle is out of service for repairs for a cumulative total of 30
or more calendar days within the time the express warranty is in effect or
within 1 year following the date the motor vehicle is delivered to the original
buyer, whichever occurs earlier, except that if the necessary repairs cannot be
made for reasons which are beyond the control of the manufacturer or its agent
or authorized dealer, the number of days required to give rise to the
presumption must be appropriately extended.
(Added to NRS by 1983, 611)Ñ(Substituted in revision for NRS 598.766)
NRS 597.640 Tolling of period for express warranties. For the purposes of NRS
597.600 to 597.670, inclusive, the running of the time an express warranty is in
effect or of any other period of time described in those sections is tolled for
the time during which services to repair the motor vehicle are not reasonably
available to the buyer because of a war, invasion or strike, or because of a
fire, flood or other natural disaster.

to express warranties. The manufacturer shall reimburse its agent or authorized
