If the odometer cannot be repaired, which statement is required on the odometer label?

• A. Set mileage to zero and call it good
• B. Leave mileage as is
• C. Do nothing
• D. Set mileage to zero, place sticker on left door frame, specify mileage before the repairs and must say "not actual mileage"

Answer: (D)

When the odometer cannot be repaired, you must clearly disclose that the mileage shown is not actual. In Wisconsin, this means setting the odometer to zero and placing a sticker on the left door frame that states the mileage before the repairs and that the mileage is not actual. This label tells the buyer the odometer can’t be relied on to reflect true miles, and it provides the actual miles logged before the malfunction. Doing anything else—like leaving the mileage as is, modifying it without disclosure, or doing nothing—would mislead buyers and fail to meet the required disclosure.
