4271 An insurer may be liable for misrepresentations regarding coverage made by its agents; if the policy does not contain the coverage for which the insured bargained, the insurer's refusal to defend cannot lead to liability for breach of contract or bad faith, but the insured can maintain an action for reformation; allegations that an insurer made a practice of selling to used car dealers policies that apply only to new car sales may support an action under the Unfair Competition Law, subject to damage requirements imposed by Proposition 64.
