McLaren Lemon Law Lawyer in Irvine, Orange County
McLaren is synonymous with cutting-edge engineering, breathtaking performance, and unparalleled luxury. However, even high-performance vehicles like McLarens can experience recurring issues that may qualify them as lemons under California’s Lemon Law. If you’ve faced persistent problems with your McLaren, you may be entitled to compensation, a replacement vehicle, or a refund.
Common McLaren recalls and defects
While McLaren is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, certain models have been subject to recalls and reported defects, including:
- Engine issues: Problems such as misfires, overheating, and power loss during operation.
- Transmission problems: Complaints about rough shifting, gear slipping, and transmission control module failures.
- Electrical malfunctions: Issues with infotainment systems, sensors, and persistent warning lights.
- Brake system concerns: Premature wear, ABS malfunctions, and electronic braking system issues.
- Suspension problems: Abnormal noises, uneven handling, and premature suspension component wear.
- Cooling system defects: Radiator leaks, inadequate cooling, and overheating issues during high-performance use.
These defects not only compromise the performance and safety of your vehicle but may also qualify you for relief under California’s Lemon Law if they persist after multiple repair attempts.

How do I know if my McLaren is a lemon?
Your McLaren may be a lemon if, during the first 18,000 miles or first 18 months, any of the following occurred:
- Substantial safety issue: The dealer attempted two (2) or more times to fix the same issue that can cause serious bodily injury or death.
- Non-substantial safety issue: The dealer attempted four (4) or more times to fix the same issue.
- Out of service: Your car was out for a total of more than 30 days for any repair.
Other considerations:
- Manufactured in the last 5 years.
- Within the original manufacturer’s warranty.
What happens next if my McLaren is a lemon?
If your McLaren is a lemon, there may be several options available, each with its own benefits:
- Buyback: The manufacturer repurchases your vehicle, compensating you for your payments (including down payment and monthly payments), registration, and certain damages. Your McLaren is now officially a lemon law buyback!
- Recall: The manufacturer notifies all vehicle owners of a defect that needs to be fixed. Unlike buybacks, not all lemons are recalled, but you can still receive compensation for your damages.
What if my McLaren doesn’t meet these requirements?
Even if your McLaren cannot meet the above requirements, you may still have a valid lemon law claim against McLaren. Many customers bear the burden of driving a defective car simply because they are not fully aware of their rights and assume they don’t have a valid claim.
Options include:
- Buyback or Compensation: The manufacturer may buy back your lemon or compensate you for the time the car was defective, allowing you to cash and keep your lemon.
- Recall Notification: Manufacturers may issue recalls for major safety issues, ensuring the defect is addressed.

California Lemon Law and Your Rights
California’s Lemon Law protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles that manufacturers cannot repair after a reasonable number of attempts. If your McLaren has been subject to repeated repairs or has spent significant time out of service, you may be entitled to:
- A replacement vehicle: A new car that is free of defects.
- A full refund: Recovery of the purchase price, including taxes and fees.
- Additional compensation: Payment for diminished vehicle value and related costs.
California law also requires the manufacturer to pay your attorney fees if your Lemon Law claim is successful, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket for our services.
