Official Summary Text

AB 2747, as introduced, Gabriel.
Vehicles: manufacturers: engine labeling.
Existing law requires the manufacturer of a vehicle, if the manufacturer of the engine of a new motor vehicle is different from the manufacturer of the vehicle, to affix a prominent label to the vehicle, located on or adjacent to the window sticker identifying the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the vehicle, stating that the engine in the vehicle may have been manufactured by another manufacturer, as specified.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
