The
National Highway and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (15
U.S.C.1381) requires that any tire dealer who sells replacement
tires directly to the consumer must provide the consumer with
a tire registration form at the time of the sale. Providing
the consumer with a registration form is not
voluntary!
If you complete and mail the registration
form(s) for the consumer, then you must fill out the form's
shaded areas with the dealer's name, address, quantity sold,
and the complete DOT tire identification code of the tire(s)
sold. You must also complete the customer's name and address
section, apply postage and mail.
If you do not complete and mail the
registration form for the customer, then you must
supply the customer with a registration form that includes your
dealer name and address, the tire brand, the number of tires
sold and the complete DOT tire identification code of each tire(s)
sold. Then the consumer enters his or her name and address on
the form, applies postage and mails it.
Remember,
the dealer that sells directly to the consumer is required to
provide a tire registration form to the consumer at the time
of sale.
The
tire manufacturer or brand owner is required by law to provide
you with a tire registration form. For multibrand dealers this
is not a cost effective solution since it means having a separate
form available for each tire brand that they sell. Our All-Brand
Form allows you to comply with the law at a minimum cost
with maximum flexibility. You do not have to stock a separate
form for each tire brand that you sell. All you need to do is
fill out our All-Brand Form,
give it to the customer or mail it to us and we'll do the rest.
It's as simple as A,B,C.
