Lincoln Navigator L Lemon Law

No. The Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act applies equally to all vehicle variants regardless of wheelbase or trim designation.

Yes. California's Song-Beverly Act applies to vehicles that are primarily used or registered in California, regardless of where the vehicle was purchased. As a California resident who registers and drives the vehicle in the state, you are entitled to the full protections of California Lemon Law, including the right to have warranty repairs performed at any authorized Lincoln dealer in California.

Under the Song-Beverly Act, your primary remedies are a replacement vehicle or a refund of the purchase price. While the Act does not provide a separate diminished value claim, it does allow for recovery of incidental and consequential damages. In some cases, loss of use, towing costs, and rental expenses can be recovered in addition to the primary buyback or replacement remedy.
