When purchasing any new vehicle, we expect reliability – to be able to use the vehicle as its designed to be used without having to worry about needing any major repairs. If your Janus Motorcycle is presenting a major issue that cannot be repaired even after multiple repair attempts have been made, then your motorcycle may be defective. Further, your motorcycle might be a lemon.

If your motorcycle is a lemon, you could have grounds to file a lemon law claim. You could file this claim based on the protections under the Song-Beverly Act, or the lemon law. The lemon law protects consumers who purchased defective products. Essentially, the lemon law gives consumers the right to either a refund or a replacement if the manufacturer cannot repair the vehicle after a reasonable number of repair attempts.

To be able to file a lemon law claim, the motorcycle or other vehicle in question must satisfy the following requirements:

• The vehicle must have a defect that cannot be repaired even after multiple repair attempts have been made (note: the total number of repairs required to satisfy this requirement will be based on the specific defect)
• The vehicle must have a defect that affects value, use, or safety
• The vehicle must still be under active manufacturer warranty

Given that the Janus Motorcycle in question meets these requirements and fits the definition of a lemon, then affected consumers could file lemon law claims.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, consumers who have defective vehicles could be entitled to the following remedies:

• A replacement motorcycle of equal or similar value or a motorcycle buyback/refund
• Reimbursement for all out-of-pocket costs resulting from the defective vehicle, which may include repair costs, towing costs, and more
• Full coverage of all legal expenses incurred from pursuing the lemon law claim

If your motorcycle is a lemon, it is important that you prepare to pursue a claim. Consider some of the following recommendations:

• Collect all records of repairs made on your motorcycle (these records should show the specific repair attempts made, the costs of all repair attempts, dates showing how long your motorcycle was in the shop, etc.)
• Collect documents that show that your manufacturer warranty is still active
• Seek the expert opinion of a lemon law lawyer
