What is the California Lemon Law?
If after a reasonable number of repair attempts, a manufacturer approved repair facility is unable to service or repair a vehicle to conform to its express warranty, the manufacturer must either replace or repurchase the vehicle. The first repair attempt must have been made within 18 months from delivery or within 18,000 miles on the vehicle odometer, whichever comes first. A reasonable number of repair attempts includes:
- Two (2) or more repair attempts for a nonconformity which results in a condition likely to cause death or serious injury.
- Four (4) or more repair attempts for the same nonconformity.
A vehicle can also qualify as a lemon if it has been out of service for over 30 cumulative calendar days since delivery, because of one or more nonconformities. (This 30-day limit does not apply if repairs cannot be performed due to conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer or its agents.)
