What Is the Oklahoma Lemon Law?

Oklahoma’s Lemon Law is designed to protect consumers who purchase or lease new vehicles that have serious defects affecting their safety, use, or value. The vehicle must come with an express warranty applicable at the time of the defect, and the issue must arise within the express warranty term.

 

Oklahoma Lemon Law ensures that manufacturers address defective vehicles promptly or provide a suitable remedy, such as a refund or replacement vehicle. The purchase or lease price will determine the amount refunded during a buyback.
