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.

Utah's New Motor Vehicles Warranties Act requires the manufacturer, its agent, or authorized dealer to repair a nonconforming new motor vehicle when the consumer reports the defect during the term of the express warranties or the one-year period following original delivery, whichever is earlier - repairs must be made even after that period expires if reported within it. If unable to conform the vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts, the manufacturer must replace it with a comparable new vehicle or accept return and refund the full purchase price, less a reasonable allowance for use attributable to the consumer's use prior to first reporting the nonconformity. As of the 2026 statutory amendment reflected in the official codified text, paved-highway motorcycles qualify while off-highway motorcycles and mopeds are excluded, per a secondary source; the statute's own weight cap is 14,000 pounds gross laden weight, distinctly higher than the 10,000-pound cap used by many other states.
