Motorcycle Lemon Law Attorney In Lincoln

Under California’s Lemon Law, motorcycles are treated as consumer goods, and they are covered if purchased or leased with a manufacturer’s warranty. A motorcycle must be used for personal reasons, by the family, or by the household, in order to be covered under the Lemon Law.

Manufacturing companies are responsible for offering remedies to any consumer who has unknowingly purchased or leased a motorcycle with a defect. However, the owner or the lessee must ensure that the manufacturing company, or the authorized dealer, received sufficient opportunity to repair the defect, and has failed to repair it despite having these opportunities.

Under California’s Lemon Law, the owner or lessee of a ‘Lemon’ motorcycle can recover remedy for their financial losses if the defect is substantial in nature. Therefore, a defect must impair the safety, value, or usefulness of the motorcycle, if a consumer wants to be remedied. A motorcycle will be regarded as a ‘Lemon’ if it fails to function properly, despite undergoing a reasonable number of failed attempts to repair the defect. In this scenario, a manufacturer will be required to either replace a bike, or to repurchase the vehicle. It is important to know that California’s Lemon Law does not cover motorcycles which are not registered for use on the highway, or have been purchased for off-road use.
