RV Motor Homes Lemon Law Firm California

The chassis of a Class A, Class B, and Class C motorized RV falls under the Lemon Law just as cars and trucks do. The coach is covered much like motorcycles – they are considered ‘consumer goods.’ Here’s what that means for your RV: The chassis – engine, drive train, everything that makes the RV mobile – is a ‘lemon’ if it has a substantial defect that impairs its “use, value, or safety” and multiple attempts to fix it have failed. Few attempts suffice when the defect is a serious safety issue: anything that puts the driver and passengers in danger. The RV may also be a lemon if it has been in the shop for an excessive number of days – even if the repairs were for different issues. In fact, in the first 18 months or 18,000 miles (whichever comes first), if the defect remains despite your best efforts after giving the manufacturer a reasonable number of repair attempts or there’s been a series of unending problems, the RV may be presumed to be a lemon. Then, it’s up to the manufacturers to prove it’s not. The coach and towables – Simply, if you bought the RV or towable new, it’s under warranty, doesn’t perform like it is supposed to due to defects, you’ve tried to have it repaired and have been unsuccessful, the RV can qualify as a lemon. Electrical and plumbing issues, tank leaks, hookups that consistently fail, slide-outs that won’t work, heating and air conditioning failures are all covered.
