Subpart 1.

Requirement.

Notification and correction shall be required to be provided with respect to manufactured homes that have been sold or otherwise released by the manufacturer to another party when the manufacturer, a state administrative agency, the commissioner, or the secretary determines that an imminent safety hazard, serious defect, defect, or noncompliance may exist in those manufactured homes.

Subp. 2.

Subp. 3.

Limitation of manufacturer's liability to provide remedial action.

The liability of manufactured home manufacturers to provide remedial actions under parts 1350.3900 to 1350.5700 is limited by the principle that manufacturers are not responsible for failures that occur in manufactured homes or components solely as the result of normal wear and aging, gross and unforeseeable consumer abuse, or unforeseeable neglect of maintenance.
