Carmakers may soon have to provide to their customers not only software programming but also build sheets under a bill proposed earlier this month that aims to provide more transparency to car owners.
Introduced by Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger, H.R. 2460 specifically addresses on-road motor vehicles under existing laws that outline how and when carmakers should communicate information about their cars to the owners of the cars.
As written, the bill would require carmakers to provide, based on a car’s VIN, a list of the various part numbers “and the software of each such part (if applicable)” along with “build sheet information” in a standardized format on a searchable website.
The scope of right to repair grows, giving DIYers more rights and info.
