What is a Lemon Under Utah Lemon Law?

Utah Lemon Law covers demonstrators and new passenger vehicles, SUVs, vans, and trucks under 12,000 pounds that are purchased in Utah. 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 during the first year from the delivery date or the expiration of the warranty (whichever period ends first)
• Has been taken in four times for the same problem or has been out of service for a cumulative total of 30 calendar days during the first year or the warranty period, whichever comes first
• The manufacturer has been notified in writing of the defect within one year from the delivery date or the expiration of the warranty (whichever period ends first)
• You have participated in the manufacturer's informal arbitration program, if one exists
