The law covers any new car, truck, motorcycle or motor home you buy or lease in Wisconsin, even if you register the vehicle in another state. It also covers a demonstrator or executive vehicle, but does not cover other used vehicles. The law also does not cover mopeds or trailers.
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 |
| All vehicles except mopeds, semitrailers or trailers designed for use in combination with a truck or truck tractor. | 4 repair attempts or 30 days out of service |
| Warranty period or 1 year. |
| 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.
