A quick eligibility check
Your Ducato may qualify if…
These are common indicators under California's Song-Beverly Act. An attorney reviews the full repair and warranty history before determining whether the firm can take a case.
You bought or leased the vehicle in California.
The problem arose while a manufacturer warranty covered the vehicle.
The dealer has had repeated repair opportunities, or the vehicle has spent significant time in the shop.
The defect continues and substantially affects the vehicle's use, value, or safety.

Why a warranty isn't enough
Your warranty vs. the lemon law
A warranty is a promise to attempt repairs. The lemon law is what protects you when those repairs never stick.
The manufacturer's warranty
- The manufacturer decides which repairs to attempt.
- It only obligates them to keep trying — not to actually fix the problem.
- When the warranty ends, the manufacturer's repair obligation ends.
California's lemon law
- Kicks in when repeated repairs don't fix a substantial defect.
- Can require a refund, a replacement vehicle, or a cash settlement.
- Your legal claim can survive after the warranty ends — if the defect was reported while it was in force.
- When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Fiat Ducato Lemon Law FAQ
Is the Fiat Ducato covered under California Lemon Law?
Yes. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers the Fiat Ducato if it was sold or leased with a manufacturer warranty in California. Commercial vans and motorhome chassis based on the Ducato are both protected.
Can I file a lemon law claim on a motorhome built on a Fiat Ducato chassis?
Yes. Under Song-Beverly, the chassis and powertrain of a motorhome are covered by the chassis manufacturer warranty. If the Ducato engine, transmission, or drivetrain has recurring defects, you can file a claim against the manufacturer.
Are diesel engine problems in the Ducato considered substantial defects?
Yes. Injector failures, turbocharger malfunctions, and DPF issues in the Ducato diesel engine are substantial defects that impair use and reliability. These qualify under Song-Beverly if the dealer cannot repair them within a reasonable number of attempts.
What happens if Fiat refuses my Ducato lemon law claim?
If the manufacturer refuses a valid claim, your attorney can file a lawsuit under Song-Beverly. If you prevail, the manufacturer must pay your attorney fees and may be liable for civil penalties up to two times the actual damages.
