Audi RS Models Lemon Law

No, the Song-Beverly Act does not distinguish between standard and high-performance models. Your Audi RS 3, RS 5, RS 6, RS 7, or RS Q8 receives the same lemon law protections as any other consumer vehicle. Defects in performance-specific components like sport differentials and adaptive suspensions are fully covered.

Audi may attempt to argue that track use constitutes misuse or abuse, but this defense is difficult to sustain under the Song-Beverly Act if the vehicle was driven within its designed performance parameters. RS models are marketed as track-capable vehicles, and defects that appear during intended use are generally covered by the warranty.

Yes, all factory-installed components on RS models including the sport exhaust, adaptive dampers, sport differential, carbon-ceramic brakes, and performance engine internals are covered by the manufacturer warranty and therefore fall under Song-Beverly protections. Any defect in these components that substantially impairs the vehicle can support a lemon law claim.

The special order nature of your RS model does not reduce your lemon law rights or refund amount. Under the Song-Beverly Act, you are entitled to a full refund of the purchase price regardless of how the vehicle was acquired. Any premium paid for a special order, including added option packages and dealer markups, is included in the refund calculation.
