Leased Vehicle Lemon Law in MA

Vehicles that were leased on or after July 1, 1997 are covered under Massachusetts Lemon Law. In order to be considered a “lemon,” a leased 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 during the first year from the original owner’s delivery date or the first 15,000 miles on the odometer (whichever period ends first)
• Has been taken in three times for the same problem or if it has been out of service for 15 business days due to a series of unrelated problems
• After the dealer has tried to repair the vehicle three times, the manufacturer has been notified and given an opportunity to repair the vehicle
• Is driven for personal use

If you believe your motorcycle qualifies under Massachusetts Lemon Law, you should notify the manufacturer immediately by a demand letter and seek help from a qualified attorney.
