If a dealer alters a unit causing an imminent safety hazard, what can they do?

1. Sell, lease, or offer to sell or lease the unit

2. Correct the imminent safety hazard and non-conformance alteration

3. Sell or lease the unit after correcting the problem

4. All the above

The correct answer is: All the above

When a dealer alters a unit in a way that creates an imminent safety hazard, the appropriate response involves addressing the issue directly. This means that the dealer has an obligation to correct the imminent safety hazard as well as any alterations that lead to non-conformance with safety standards. The dealer must first fix the safety hazard to ensure the unit complies with regulatory and safety standards before considering selling or leasing it again. As such, once the corrections are made to ensure safety, the dealer can then proceed to sell or lease the unit. Selecting all of the provided options acknowledges the necessary steps a dealer can take, from correcting the hazard to the possibility of engaging in selling or leasing the unit post-correction. This underscores the importance of prioritizing safety and legal compliance before any transactional activities regarding the unit.
