(a) Generally. Regardless of any action taken under §3286.703, for any defect in a manufactured home that is reported during the one-year period beginning on the date of installation, as specified in §3286.115, any rights and remedies available under the HUD dispute resolution program, as implemented in part 3288 of this chapter, continue to apply as provided in that part.

(b) Waiver of rights invalid. Any provision of a contract or agreement entered into by a manufactured home purchaser that seeks to waive any recourse to either HUD or a state dispute resolution program is void.
