Right to Repair & Repair Program Watch

Track repair rights for US consumers and independent shops. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: state and federal right to repair law passage, effective dates and covered product categories including electronics, appliances, wheelchairs, farm equipment and vehicles; manufacturer self-repair program launches, expansions and part price changes at Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Valve, Dyson and John Deere; parts pairing, serialization and software lock changes with affected models; iFixit and other repairability score changes on major launches; FTC enforcement and warranty voiding actions; authorized and independent repair network changes; and Copyright Office DMCA exemption rulings on repair. Prefer legislative, manufacturer program, FTC, Copyright Office, iFixit and advocacy sources; ignore repair shop advertising. Put the law or manufacturer first in the title. Use high severity for a law taking effect within 60 days, a parts pairing change that disables third-party parts, or a self-repair program launch for a top-selling device. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, which products, the date, what it means for a repair, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
