§ 1345.73.

(A) Except as provided in division (B) of this section, it shall be presumed that a reasonable

number of attempts have been undertaken by the manufacturer, its dealer, or its authorized

agent to conform a motor vehicle to any applicable express warranty if, during the

period of one year following the date of original delivery or during the first eighteen

thousand miles of operation, whichever is earlier, any of the following apply: (1) Substantially the same nonconformity has been subject to repair three or more times

and either continues to exist or recurs; (2) The vehicle is out of service by reason of repair for a cumulative total of thirty

or more calendar days; (3) There have been eight or more attempts to repair any nonconformity; (4) There has been at least one attempt to repair a nonconformity that results in a condition

that is likely to cause death or serious bodily injury if the vehicle is driven, and

the nonconformity either continues to exist or recurs. (B)(1) Any period of time described in division (A) of this section shall be extended by

any period of time during which the vehicle could not be reasonably repaired due to

war, invasion, civil unrest, strike, fire, flood, or natural disaster. (2) If an extension of time is necessitated under division (B)(1) of this section due

to the conditions described in that division, the manufacturer shall arrange for the

use of a vehicle for the consumer whose vehicle is out of service at no cost to the

consumer.  If the manufacturer utilizes or contracts with a motor vehicle dealer or other third

party to provide the vehicle, the manufacturer shall reimburse the motor vehicle dealer

or other third party at a reasonable rate for the use of the vehicle.
