Q. Does the California lemon law apply to other types of
products beside motor vehicles?

motor vehicles, demonstrators, used motor vehicles that
are still covered under the manufacturer's warranty, and
the chassis portion of a motor home, the Song Beverly

consumer products such as boats, motorcycles, electronic
equipment etc.

Q. Does a consumer who purchases a used
motor vehicle that is not covered under a manufacturer's
warranty have any rights against the seller of the motor
vehicle?
A. Yes. For example, if the seller of the used motor
vehicle has provided a warranty or misrepresented the
condition of the vehicle, the consumer has rights
similar to the new motor vehicle lemon law.
