The Impact of Vehicle Recalls on Lemon Law Claims
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 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.

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.
