The presumption is the set of numbers that shifts the burden to the manufacturer. A claim can exist outside the presumption — it is a shortcut, not the whole road. Read why.
Arizona allows a 'reasonable allowance' for use with no published formula — negotiated or decided case by case. This checker refuses to invent the number.
Prior direct written notice to the manufacturer and an opportunity to cure are elements of the Arizona presumption. If the manufacturer maintains a Part 703 program, you must use it first.
Dispute route: A 16 CFR Part 703 program, where the manufacturer maintains one, must be used before suit.
Attorney's fees: Arizona provides attorney's fees to a prevailing consumer.
Suit must be filed within 6 months after the earlier of the warranty expiring or 2 years / 24,000 miles.
