AB 631

This bill creates requirements, commonly known as a “lemon law,” for the repair

and replacement of an implement of husbandry that has a condition or defect

(“nonconformity”) that substantially impairs the use, value, or safety of the

implement of husbandry and that is covered by an express warranty.

Under the bill, if an implement of husbandry does not conform to an applicable

express warranty and the consumer reports the nonconformity to the manufacturer,

the lessor, or any of the manufacturer's authorized dealers and makes the implement

of husbandry available for repair, the manufacturer, lessor, or authorized dealer

must repair the nonconformity. If the same nonconformity has been subject to repair

at least four times and the nonconformity continues or if the implement of husbandry

is out of service for an aggregate of at least 30 days because of warranty

nonconformities, the consumer is entitled to a replacement implement of husbandry

or a full refund.
