Automobile Fraud: 5.4 Repair or Replacement of an Odometer
The Act authorizes service, repair, or replacement of an odometer as long as the odometer reading remains the same as before.72 If the mileage cannot remain the same, the repair person must adjust the odometer to read zero, and the car’s owner or the owner’s agent (for example, the repair person) must attach a written notice to the vehicle’s left door frame,73 which specifies the mileage before the service, repair, or replacement, and the date of the service, repair, or replacement.
