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
If covered problems persist after repair attempts, an attorney can review whether California's lemon law provides a remedy.
The manufacturer's warranty
- Describes which defects and repairs the manufacturer covers.
- Sets coverage terms, including time and mileage limits.
- Your warranty documents and repair orders help establish what happened and when.
California's lemon law
- May provide a remedy when a covered substantial defect remains after a reasonable number of repair attempts.
- A qualifying case may lead to a buyback, a replacement, or a negotiated cash settlement.
- Warranty expiration alone does not settle whether you have a claim. An attorney can review your repair history and deadlines.
- When you win, the manufacturer pays your attorney fees — not you.

Rivian R1T Lemon Law FAQ
Does California Lemon Law apply to my Rivian R1T pickup truck?
Yes, the California Lemon Law, also known as the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, covers your Rivian R1T if it was purchased or leased with a manufacturer warranty in California. If Rivian cannot repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a full refund.
How many repair attempts does Rivian get before my R1T qualifies under Song-Beverly?
Under Song-Beverly, the manufacturer generally gets two or more attempts to fix a safety-related defect or four or more attempts for other substantial defects. Additionally, if your R1T has been out of service for more than 30 cumulative days due to warranty repairs, it may qualify as a lemon regardless of the number of attempts.
Can I file a Lemon Law claim if my R1T has recurring battery pack issues?
Absolutely. Recurring battery pack problems such as thermal management failures or premature capacity loss are considered substantial defects under California Lemon Law. If Rivian has been unable to permanently resolve these issues after a reasonable number of repair attempts, you likely have a valid Song-Beverly claim.
Will I need to pay attorney fees to pursue a Lemon Law case against Rivian for my R1T?
Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, the manufacturer is required to pay your attorney fees if you prevail in your Lemon Law case. This means you can typically retain a California Lemon Law attorney at no out-of-pocket cost to you, as Rivian would be responsible for covering those fees upon a successful outcome.
