Rivian R1T Explore Lemon Law

Yes, every Rivian R1T trim level including the Explore is fully covered under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. The price or trim level of your vehicle does not affect your Lemon Law rights. If Rivian cannot fix a substantial warranty defect after reasonable repair attempts, you are entitled to a refund or replacement.

Persistent charging defects that Rivian cannot resolve after multiple warranty repair attempts are strong grounds for a California Lemon Law claim. You should document every service visit and keep records of the charging failures, then consult a Song-Beverly attorney who can evaluate your case and file a claim on your behalf at no upfront cost.

Under Song-Beverly, the mileage offset is calculated based on the miles driven before you first reported the defect to Rivian. The formula divides the actual miles at first repair by 120,000 and multiplies by the purchase price. Miles driven after your first repair visit are not counted against you in the offset calculation.

Yes, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act requires Rivian to pay off your remaining loan balance to the third-party lender as part of the buyback. You would also receive a refund of all payments you have made including down payment, monthly payments, taxes, and registration fees, minus only the mileage offset.
