Wilbur v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.

Nicolyn Wilbur (plaintiff) bought a used demonstrator car from Tri-Nordic Toyota, which disclosed the car had been in an accident during its demonstration period but represented it had been completely repaired; Tri-Nordic also gave her a New Vehicle Limited Warranty created by Toyota Motor Sales (defendant). The warranty booklet's stated commencement terms became the center of the dispute over when coverage actually began and whether the accident-repair exclusion applied to damage from the earlier, undisclosed-severity collision.

Whether federal law requires that the event or time at which a warranty period begins be clearly and conspicuously stated in a written warranty.
