The Kentucky lemon law applies to a motor vehicle that: 

  1. Is intended primarily for use and operation on the public highways;
  2. Is required to be registered or licensed in Kentucky prior to such use or operation; 
  3. Has been finally and completely assembled and is in the possession of a manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, wholesaler, or an authorized motor vehicle dealer; and 
  4. Is in fact new and on which the original title has not previously been issued;


The lemon law does not cover motor homes, motorcycles, mopeds, vehicles with more than 2 axles, farm tractors and other farm machines, and vehicles substantially altered after the initial sale from a dealer to an individual. 

A “new motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle that: 

  1. Has been finally and completely assembled; 
  2. Is in the possession of a manufacturer, factory branch, distributor, or authorized dealer; and 
  3. Is in fact new and on which the original title has never been issued.
