A quick eligibility check
Your R1S Adventure 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.

Rivian R1S Adventure Lemon Law FAQ
Can I file a Lemon Law claim for my R1S Adventure in California?
Yes, your Rivian R1S Adventure is fully protected under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act if it was purchased or leased new in California. If Rivian has been unable to fix a substantial defect after a reasonable number of warranty repair attempts, you are entitled to pursue a refund or replacement.
My R1S Adventure keeps losing fast-charging capability. Is this a Lemon Law issue?
Repeated loss of DC fast-charging capability is a substantial defect that significantly impairs the use and value of your electric vehicle. If Rivian has attempted to repair this issue multiple times without success, your R1S Adventure likely qualifies as a lemon under Song-Beverly, and you should consult an attorney to begin the claims process.
Does Song-Beverly cover battery-related defects on the R1S Adventure?
Yes, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act covers all defects that arise under the manufacturer warranty, including battery pack and high-voltage system failures. Battery defects that reduce range, prevent charging, or compromise safety are considered substantial impairments of use and value under California Lemon Law.
What happens if Rivian offers me a cash settlement instead of a buyback for my R1S Adventure?
Rivian may offer a cash-and-keep settlement to avoid a full buyback, but you are not obligated to accept it. Under Song-Beverly, you have the right to a full refund or replacement vehicle if your R1S Adventure qualifies as a lemon. A California Lemon Law attorney can evaluate whether the settlement offer is fair or if pursuing the full statutory remedy would be more favorable.
