Frequently Asked QuestionsCoverage & Vehicles
Does the Lemon Law cover used and leased vehicles?
Plain-English Answer
Yes. California’s Lemon Law can apply to new, certified pre-owned, and many used vehicles, whether purchased or leased, as long as the defect arose and was reported while the vehicle was still covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. It also covers cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, and RVs sold with a manufacturer warranty in California.
Key Takeaways
- Used, CPO, and leased vehicles can qualify when defects arise under warranty.
- Cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, and RVs may be covered.
- Report defects while the manufacturer warranty is still in effect.
