The Lemon Law applies to new vehicles, including cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, all­terrain vehicles motor homes and towable recreational vehicles (TRVs) that develop problems covered by a written factory warranty. Demonstrator vehicles are also considered new vehicles.

The following table summarizes what is covered, how many times the vehicle has to be repaired for the same defect and the warranty period.

Vehicles Covered	Repair Interval and Coverage Period
New vehicles, including cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, all­terrain vehicles, motor homes and towable recreational vehicles.	4 repair attempts or 30 days out of service. 2 repair attempts for a serious safety hazard.
	Warranty period or 1 year.
Note: Generally, the term Repair Attempts, as it relates to Lemon Law, refers to one or more attempts to fix the same defect although some states consider a vehicle to be a lemon if it required the specified number of repairs within the coverage period. A car is out of service while being repaired or waiting for parts. Warranty Period refers to the Manufacturer`s Express Warranty. Where the Coverage Period lists more than 1 option, the period applies to that option which occurs first.
