Lamborghini Lemon Law in California: Urus, Huracán & Revuelto
A Lamborghini is bought for drama, not for trips back to the service department — so a Urus or Revuelto that keeps returning for the same fault is a particular kind of insult. California's lemon law, the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, does not exempt supercars. It covers any vehicle sold with a manufacturer's warranty, and if a covered defect substantially impairs your Lamborghini's use, value, or safety and the manufacturer cannot repair it within a reasonable number of attempts, you may be entitled to a buyback, a replacement, or a cash settlement — with Lamborghini paying your attorney fees.
Fuel leaks and fire risk on the Urus
The Urus, Lamborghini's best-selling model, has been the subject of fire-risk recalls. Certain 2025 Urus vehicles were recalled because fasteners securing the high-pressure fuel pump may not have been properly tightened, allowing a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire near an ignition source. Separately, certain 2019–2024 Urus vehicles were recalled because high temperatures in the engine compartment can damage a fuel-line quick connector, again allowing a fuel leak and fire risk. Fuel leaking near a hot engine is about as substantial a safety defect as exists.
The Revuelto's early-production defects
Lamborghini's V12 hybrid flagship has had a cluster of early recalls. Certain 2024 Revuelto models can leak oil from improperly tightened screws at the oil-circuit connection flange — a condition Lamborghini identified after a field report of a fire in New York. Other Revuelto recalls address gas springs that let the doors fail and close unexpectedly, and a wiper-arm connecting rod that can bend and separate, causing the wipers to fail and cutting visibility. A brand-new supercar collecting fire, door, and visibility recalls is exactly the profile the Lemon Law was written to catch.
None of these recalls automatically makes a car a lemon. But when a safety-recall repair does not hold, the same defect keeps returning, or your Lamborghini spends significant time out of service waiting on parts or a fix, that is the pattern a claim is built on — and a recall is never required to bring one.
Which Lamborghinis are covered
- Urus and Urus SE/Performante — high-pressure fuel-pump and fuel-line fire-risk recalls, electronics
- Revuelto — oil-leak/fire recall, door gas-spring recall, wiper-arm recall, hybrid-system faults
- Huracán (and variants) — electrical, driveline, and infotainment complaints
What a buyback is worth, and the deadline myth
A buyback refunds what you paid — down payment, monthly payments, and official fees such as tax and registration — minus a single mileage offset for the use you had before the defect first sent the car in. Where the failure to comply was willful, the law allows a civil penalty of up to two times your actual damages. Because a Lamborghini's price is high, so are the numbers, and Lamborghini pays your attorney fees when you win, so there is no out-of-pocket cost to pursue a claim.
And as with any exotic: the 18-month / 18,000-mile figure is a presumption period, not a deadline. Low-mileage supercars often sit inside the mileage side of it for years, and even past it, the manufacturer's obligation to repurchase a car it cannot fix does not expire. Many claims are proven on the repair history alone. Keep every repair order and get a free case review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Lamborghini be a lemon under California law?
Yes. The Song-Beverly Act applies regardless of price. If your Lamborghini has a substantial defect — a fuel leak, an oil leak, an electrical or hybrid fault — that the manufacturer can't fix after a reasonable number of attempts, you may be owed a buyback, replacement, or cash settlement, with Lamborghini paying your attorney fees.
My Urus was recalled for a fuel leak. Is that a lemon?
Not automatically, but it can be. The Urus has had fire-risk recalls tied to fuel-pump fasteners and a heat-damaged fuel-line connector. A fuel leak near a hot engine is a serious safety defect, and if the recall repair doesn't hold or the car sits out of service waiting on a fix, that's the pattern a lemon claim addresses. Keep the recall notice and every repair order.
My Lamborghini is nearly new with low miles. Does it still qualify?
Very possibly. Low mileage doesn't disqualify you — and the 18,000-mile figure is a presumption period, not a deadline. Many exotic-car claims are proven on the repair history, especially where a manufacturer has issued multiple safety recalls on a new model.
How much is a Lamborghini buyback worth?
Both the buyback refund and the attorney-fee award scale with the price of the vehicle, so a Lamborghini claim involves very large numbers. The legal test is the same as any car; the dollar figures are far higher.
