[§279L-8]  Motor vehicle safety recalls.  (a)  At the time when a vehicle owner registers as a shared car owner on a peer-to-peer car-sharing program, prior to the time when the shared car owner makes a shared car available for peer-to-peer car-sharing on the peer-to-peer car-sharing program and no more than forty-eight hours before the car-sharing start time, the peer-to-peer car-sharing program shall:

     (1)  Verify that no safety recalls exist for the make and model of the shared car for which repairs have not been made;

     (2)  Notify the shared car owner of the requirements under subsection (b); and

     (3)  Not make the shared car available for use through a peer-to-peer car-sharing program if the shared car owner or peer-to-peer car-sharing program has received notice or is aware of a safety recall on the shared car, until the safety repair has been made.

     (b)  A shared car owner shall:

     (1)  Remove any shared car listed for use through a peer-to-peer car-sharing program upon receipt of a notice of a safety recall as soon as practicably possible but no longer than seventy-two hours after receipt of notice of a safety recall; and

     (2)  Notify the peer-to-peer car-sharing program of a safety recall when the shared car is in the possession of a shared car driver so that the peer-to-peer car-sharing program may notify the shared car driver and the shared car may be removed from use until the shared car owner effects the necessary safety recall repair.
