The Lemon Law covers new or demonstrator motor vehicles, including trucks of 10,000 lbs. or less gross vehicle weight that are purchased or leased in Montana with substantial defects that impair the use, market value or safety of the vehicle.
The following table summarizes what is covered, how many times the vehicle has to be repaired for the same defect and the warranty period.
| Vehicles Covered | Repair Interval and Coverage Period |
| Any vehicle, including the nonresidential portion of a motor home, propelled by its own power, designed primarily to transport persons or property upon the public highways. Does not include trucks with 10,000 pounds or more GVW or motorcycles. | 4 repair attempts or 30 business days out of service |
| 2 years or 18,000 miles. |
| Note: | Generally, the term Repair Attempts, as it relates to Lemon Law, refers to one or more attempts to fix the same defect although some states consider a vehicle to be a lemon if it required the specified number of repairs within the coverage period. A car is out of service while being repaired or waiting for parts. Warranty Period refers to the Manufacturer`s Express Warranty. Where the Coverage Period lists more than 1 option, the period applies to that option which occurs first.
