The Impact of Vehicle Recalls on Lemon Law Claims

BY PREMIER LEGAL CENTER, APC March 18, 2025

Vehicle recalls are more common than most drivers realize. Manufacturers issue recalls when a car has a safety defect or fails to meet performance standards. These issues can range from faulty brakes to defective airbags. When vehicles are repeatedly repaired for the same issue without a fix, the California Lemon Law can protect buyers and lessees.

How Recalls Affect Lemon Law Rights

We understand how frustrating it is to deal with a defective car. A recall might be a warning sign of a serious issue, but it doesn’t automatically make a vehicle a “lemon.” The problem must persist even after multiple repair attempts to qualify under the law. A recall may support a claim by showing that the manufacturer knew about the issue. This is when a Los Angeles lemon law attorney can help determine your eligibility for compensation or a vehicle replacement.

Attorney Steven Lance Marchbanks Explains Recall Consequences

Attorney Steven Lance Marchbanks has handled many lemon law claims involving recalled vehicles. When a recall repair fails to fix the issue, the law may consider the car unreasonably dangerous or unreliable. Recalls often delay proper repairs or cause stress for owners who rely on their vehicles daily. If a repair shop keeps your vehicle for extended periods or performs repeated fixes without success, you may have a valid claim under California’s Lemon Law.

What to Do If Your Car Has a Recall and Problems Persist

If you received a recall notice and your car continues to have issues even after the repair, take action. Save all records of repairs, replaced parts, and the time your car has been in the shop. The more documentation you have, the better. It shows a clear failure pattern, strengthening your lemon law claim.

Our legal team can review your records and explain your options. The California Lemon Law ensures you’re not stuck with a defective product. You may be entitled to a refund, a new vehicle, or compensation for the car’s loss in value. These claims require legal knowledge and experience, especially when a recall is involved.

Why Timing Matters with Recalls and Lemon Law

California’s Lemon Law only applies if the issues occur within a certain time or mileage. That’s why timing is critical. Your claim may qualify if a recall happens within your warranty period and the problem is not fixed. Acting quickly can protect your rights and make a big difference in your case.

We help gather the right evidence, speak to the manufacturer, and guide you through every step. A strong case is built on the details, where our experience matters most. We are by your side from the first repair attempt to the final decision.
