5. For the purposes of sections 3 and 4 of this 1991 amendatory and supplementary act, and section 5 of the "Franchise Practices Act," P.L.1971, c.356 (C.56:10-5), the termination, cancellation or discontinuation of a series, line, brand or class of new motor vehicle marketed by a motor vehicle franchisor as a distinct series, line, brand or class shall be deemed to be the termination, cancellation or nonrenewal of the motor vehicle franchise of a motor vehicle franchisee holding a franchise which includes that series, line, brand or class, even if that series, line, brand or class of new motor vehicle is part of a motor vehicle franchise which includes other series, lines, brands or classes of new motor vehicles. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a franchisor may change, add or delete models, specifications, model names, numbers or identifying marks or similar characteristics of the new motor vehicles it markets, if those changes, additions or deletions do not result, directly or indirectly, in the termination, cancellation or discontinuation of a distinct series, line, brand or class of new motor vehicle.
