Alaska's lemon law requires the manufacturer to repair a new motor vehicle that does not conform to its express warranty when the owner reports the defect during the warranty term. To claim a refund or replacement, the owner must send written notice by certified mail stating the nonconformity and that a reasonable number of repair attempts have been made, and demanding a refund or replacement to be delivered on the 60th day after mailing. The manufacturer then has 30 days after receiving that notice to make one final repair attempt. The law does not apply if the nonconformity does not substantially impair use or value, or results from unauthorized alteration, abuse, or neglect.
