California Recreational Vehicle Lemon Law Attorney

California Recreational Vehicle Lemon Law Lawyer

Many people invest in recreational vehicles to tour the state or even the country during vacations, and they are common retirement investments for many Americans who want to spend their golden years exploring the country.

Whatever your reasons for purchasing a recreational vehicle (RV) may be, it is important to understand your rights when it comes to warranty coverage. A California recreational vehicle lemon law attorney is a valuable asset if you encounter a problem.

Experienced Legal Counsel for RV Lemon Law Claims

The team at Lemon Law Pro offers client-focused legal counsel for all types of lemon law claims throughout California. Any vehicle covered under a manufacturer’s warranty can qualify for a lemon law claim under the right conditions, including recreational vehicles. Our team focuses exclusively on lemon law cases, ensuring our clients receive focused, experienced, and results-driven legal counsel from us as we work to resolve their cases.

While it is technically possible for you to file a lemon law claim on your own, a manufacturer may attempt to take advantage of a claimant, offering a much smaller settlement than they legally deserve. Lemon law claims may also appear straightforward at first but ultimately involve many complex issues the average claimant cannot address effectively without counsel. It is always worth working with a California recreational vehicle lemon law attorney.

The Lemon Law Also Applies to Recreational Vehicles

If you recently purchased a recreational vehicle and have had problems resolving any issue that diminishes the vehicle’s usability, value, or safety, or if the vehicle has been out of commission for repairs for more than 30 cumulative days since you took delivery, you likely have grounds to file a lemon law claim against the manufacturer. Alternatively, a vehicle qualifies as a lemon after the manufacturer has made reasonable attempts to fix the issue.

The term “reasonable” varies depending on the nature of the problem at hand. If the nonconformity of the recreational vehicle would create a condition that could cause great bodily harm or death, then the manufacturer typically has two chances to repair the issue. For less serious issues that diminish the vehicle’s use, value, or safety, four attempts generally meet the definition of a reasonable attempt to repair.

Most lemon law claims arise within 18 months of a claimant taking delivery of the vehicle or within the time it takes for them to add 18,000 miles to the vehicle’s odometer. However, these are not hard and fast limits. As long as the vehicle is covered under the manufacturer’s warranty, it is possible to file a lemon law claim if there is any problem with the vehicle that reduces its value, prevents the owner from using it effectively, or diminishes the vehicle’s safety.

Resolving Your Lemon Law Claim

Your California recreational vehicle lemon law attorney can help you understand how the state’s lemon law applies to your case and what type of resolution you can expect from the manufacturer. Most of these claims are resolved either through replacement or refund. For replacement, both the manufacturer and the claimant must agree to this, and it is understandable for the claimant to be hesitant about a replacement offer.

When a manufacturer offers a replacement to settle a lemon law claim, they typically offer to replace the lemon with the same model of vehicle. The claimant may assume that they are likely to encounter the exact same issues if they accept the exact same vehicle as a replacement, and manufacturers may be inflexible when it comes to offering alternatives. The other possible solution is a refund or buyback of the recreational vehicle.

If you take a buyback offer, the manufacturer will refund the purchase price minus a charge that reflects the number of miles you added to the vehicle’s odometer between the delivery of the vehicle and the time of the vehicle’s first repair attempt. Your recreational vehicle lemon law attorney can make sure this charge is calculated correctly, preserving the value of your settlement with the manufacturer.
