Does an Honda Qualify Under California Lemon Law?

Your Honda may qualify under California Lemon Law if it was purchased or leased with a manufacturer’s warranty and develops a substantial defect that the manufacturer or an authorized Buick dealership cannot successfully repair.

Eligible vehicles may include:

New Honda vehicles
Leased Honda vehicles
Certified Pre-Owned Honda vehicles still covered by the original factory warranty
Certain used Honda vehicles that remain under the manufacturer’s warranty

A qualifying defect does not have to make the vehicle completely inoperable. If it substantially affects the vehicle’s safety, use, reliability, or value, it may qualify under California Lemon Law.
