FAQ
The deadline depends on whether your vehicle’s manufacturer has opted into California’s updated lemon law procedures under AB 1755. If your manufacturer opted in, you must file within one year after your express warranty expires, and no later than six years from the original date of vehicle delivery — whichever comes first. If your manufacturer has not opted in, the prior rule applies: you generally have four years from when you first discovered or should have discovered the defect. Because the deadline varies by manufacturer and circumstances can affect tolling, contact us promptly to preserve your rights.
