The owner of a defective car is typically entitled to repair or replacement free of cost. Sometimes the dealership or manufacturer will notice the defect on its own and offer to repair it by issuing a recall. When the dealership does not offer a recall, the vehicle owners must keep track of the number of times the car needed to be repaired, and if the car spends an excessive amount of time in the shop the owner may be entitled to replacement under Lemon Laws. Motor Vehicles Defects Law also influences cases when neither the owner nor the manufacturers notice a defect, and the defect subsequently causes an accident. Victims of these accidents may be able to collect damages from the manufacturer for allowed a car with a dangerous defect in to the market.
