What Is California Lemon Law?
California Lemon Law applies to new and certified pre-owned vehicles sold or leased in California that come with a manufacturer’s warranty. This law covers cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, and even motorcycles, RVs and boats, provided they have substantial defects that affect the use, value, or safety of the vehicle and have not been fixed after a reasonable number of attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions
A vehicle is considered a "lemon" under California law if it has substantial manufacturing defects affecting its use, safety, or value, and these issues have not been fixed after a reasonable number of repair attempts by an authorized dealer within the warranty period.
The law covers new and used vehicles that are still under the manufacturer's original warranty. This includes cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, motorcycles, and in some cases, RV's, boats, and other recreational vehicles.
While the law doesn't specify an exact number, a vehicle may be deemed a lemon if it has undergone multiple repairs for the same issue, particularly if the problem is serious enough to potentially cause injury or death. Additionally, if the vehicle is out of service for repairs for more than 30 cumulative days during the warranty period, it might also be classified as a lemon.
If your vehicle is declared a lemon, the manufacturer is generally required to either replace the vehicle with a new one or refund the purchase price minus a deduction for usage before the first repair attempt. As such compensation can include a refund, replacement of vehicle, or a cash & keep settlement.
Yes, leased vehicles are covered under the California Lemon Law as long as they are under the manufacturer's new vehicle warranty. This includes any vehicle that is leased with a warranty, ensuring that lessees receive the same protections as purchasers if their vehicle turns out to be a lemon
