State lemon law
Wyoming Lemon Law
When a new vehicle keeps failing, Wyoming law can require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. These are the numbers the statute actually sets.
4
Repair attempts
30
Days out of service
12
Months covered
What counts as a lemon in Wyoming
Meeting any one of these raises a presumption that the manufacturer has had a reasonable number of attempts. The repairs have to fall inside one year following the original delivery of the vehicle.
- The same defect has been subject to repair more than three times and still exists.
- The vehicle has been out of service for repair for a cumulative total of 30 business days.
Failing all of these does not end a claim. The presumption is a shortcut through the evidence, not the whole of the law, and a vehicle that misses it can still be a lemon on ordinary warranty grounds. It does mean the owner has to prove what the presumption would have assumed.
Which vehicles the law reaches
New motor vehicles sold in Wyoming under an express warranty.
What you get
A consumer injured by a breach may bring a civil action, and can recover reasonable legal fees from the manufacturer that issued the express warranty.
The deadline
The repairs have to fall inside the year following the original delivery.
Worth knowing
- Wyoming says "more than three times", which means the fourth attempt is the one that raises the presumption.
How Wyoming compares
20 states ask for fewer repair attempts than Wyoming's 4, and 29 others ask for the same 4. 7 states count fewer days out of service. Wyoming sets no mileage limit at all, which is unusual: most states end the window at a mileage as well as a date.
Before you file: what is already on record
A lemon law claim is about your car. What other owners have reported about the same year, make and model is separate, and it is public: it can tell you whether the failure is a known pattern, whether NHTSA is investigating it, and whether a recall already covers the repair you have been paying for.

This is not legal advice. It is a reading of a public statute, written by somebody who is not a lawyer and does not know your car, your paperwork or your state's case law. A lemon law claim turns on facts this page cannot see. Take the statute and your repair orders to Wyoming Attorney General, Consumer Protection and Antitrust Unit, or to a lawyer in Wyoming.
