What is a Lemon Under Indiana Lemon Law?

Indiana Lemon Law covers leased and new passenger vehicles, SUVs, vans, and trucks under 10,000 pounds, and used vehicles that are sold during the new car warranty period. In order to be considered a "lemon," the vehicle must meet the following requirements:

• Does not conform to the manufacturer's express warranty
• Has substantial defects affecting the use, safety or value of the vehicle
• Has manufacturer's defects that occurred and are reported during the first 18 months from the delivery date or the first 18,000 miles on the odometer (whichever comes first)
• Has been taken in four times for the same defect or has been out of service for 30 business days
• You have notified the manufacturer via certified mail (if required by the manufacturer)
• The vehicle is used primarily for individual, family, or household purposes
