Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(1) Each
manufacturer shall specify in writing to each of its dealers licensed in this
state, the dealer's obligations for predelivery preparation and warranty
service on its products, compensate the dealer for service required of the
dealer by the manufacturer, provide the dealer a schedule of compensation to
be paid the dealer for parts, work and service in connection with its
products, and the time allowance for the performance of that work and service.
(2) In no event shall a schedule of compensation fail to include
reasonable compensation for diagnostic work, as well as repair service and
labor. Time allowances for the diagnosis and performance of warranty work and
service shall be reasonable and adequate for the work to be performed.
(3) It is unlawful for a new vehicle manufacturer to fail to perform any
warranty obligations or to fail to include in written notices of factory
recalls to new vehicle owners and dealers, the expected date by which
necessary parts and equipment will be available to dealers for the correction
of those defects, or to fail to compensate any of the dealers in this state
for repairs affected by recall.
(4) All claims made by dealers pursuant to this section for labor and
parts shall be paid within thirty (30) days following their approval. The
manufacturer retains the right to audit claims and to charge the dealer for
unsubstantiated, incorrect, or false claims for a period of one (1) year
following payment. Provided however, that the manufacturer may audit and
charge the dealer for fraudulent claims during any period for which an action
for fraud may be commenced. All claims shall be either approved or
disapproved within thirty (30) days after their receipt, on forms and in the
manner specified by the manufacturer, and any claim not specifically
disapproved in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt shall be
construed to be approved and payment must follow within thirty (30) days.
