Lemon-law claims generally come down to the same things: repair attempts, days out of service, and whether you're still inside the eligibility window. Organize those facts and get a free letter outline; the full demand letter is in the $39 Case Pack.
| Eligibility window | The warranty term (specific months/miles figure not independently confirmed from primary text - see gaps) |

New Hampshire's lemon law, formally the New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Law (RSA 357-D), applies only to new vehicles purchased from New Hampshire dealerships and provides an informal arbitration process through the Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board (MVAB), a five-person panel of consumers, dealers, and certified mechanics administratively attached to the DMV, in place since January 1992. A vehicle qualifies for arbitration if the manufacturer or its representative has made at least three unsuccessful repair attempts, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30 or more cumulative business days due to warranty-covered defects. The law covers a broad range of vehicles with a gross weight not exceeding 11,000 pounds, including motorcycles and certain off-highway recreational vehicles per secondary sources. Manufacturers must provide purchasers with notice of arbitration rights, including a 'demand for arbitration' form.
