The Michigan lemon law covers any motor vehicle designed as a passenger vehicle, sports utility vehicle, pickup truck, or van. The lemon law does not cover buses, trucks, and motor homes.

A “new motor vehicle” is a motor vehicle that is purchased or leased in Michigan or purchased or leased by a resident of Michigan, and that is covered by a manufacturer’s express warranty at the time of purchase or lease. The lemon law covers used motor vehicles transferred during the manufacturer’s express warranty.
