Every vehicle owner expects reliability and safety when they hit the road, especially in new luxury models like the 2026–2027 Lincoln Nautilus Hybrid and the 2027 Lincoln Corsair Hybrid. However, a recently filed safety campaign (NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V-688 / Ford Campaign 26S75) highlights a serious defect that leaves drivers vulnerable to sudden power loss on busy roads and highways.

What Is the Defect?

According to documentation filed with safety regulators, 11,623 vehicles are affected by a manufacturing defect in the Integrated Parking Module (IPM).

The Technical Issue

An anti-rust oil used by a component supplier degrades the protective conformal coating on the IPM’s Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Over time, corrosion sets in, leading to a drop in voltage on the rotary sensor.

How It Impacts Drivers

  • In Motion: The system may trigger an unexpected shift into Neutral while driving. Losing drive power in traffic drastically increases the risk of a rear-end collision or loss of vehicle control.
  • While Stationary: Drivers may experience an inability to shift out of Park, leaving the vehicle completely immobilized.
  • Dashboard Warnings: Before or during an episode, owners might see a Service Wrench indicator light alongside pop-up messages stating “Service Vehicle Soon” or “Shifting System Error.”

What the Manufacturer is Doing

Ford Motor Company plans to send initial notification letters to owners starting November 2, 2026, with follow-up letters once replacement parts are available. Dealerships have been instructed to replace the Integrated Park Module free of charge.

When Does a Safety Defect Become a “Lemon”?

While manufacturers routinely issue technical bulletins and safety notices to resolve defects, a single repair attempt doesn’t always solve the underlying problem. A vehicle typically qualifies as a lemon under state laws if:

  1. Substantial Impairment: The defect substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety (such as sudden shifts to neutral while operating at high speeds).
  2. Reasonable Attempt Limit: The dealership has attempted to repair the same substantial defect multiple times without success (often 2 to 4 attempts, depending on state laws).
  3. Days Out of Service: The vehicle has been out of service due to repairs for a cumulative total of 30 days or more.

If your hybrid Lincoln has experienced recurring transmission or electronic failure—or if you find yourself taking your vehicle back to the dealer repeatedly for IPM or shifting faults—you may be entitled to a full repurchase, replacement vehicle, or cash settlement.

Protect Your Legal Rights

If you suspect your vehicle is a lemon, take these immediate steps to build a strong claim:

  • Document Everything: Keep every repair invoice, work order, and service record provided by the dealership. Ensure the service advisor accurately writes down your specific complaint (e.g., “vehicle shifted to neutral automatically” or “Service Vehicle Soon warning appeared”).
  • Track Days Out of Service: Log every day your vehicle sits at the dealership waiting for diagnosis, parts, or repairs.
  • Consult a Lemon Law Attorney: Lemon law statutes generally require the manufacturer to cover your legal fees if your claim is successful, meaning high-quality legal representation comes at no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Buying a new or certified pre-owned vehicle should come with confidence, not constant trips to the repair shop. When a vehicle suffers from repeated, unfixable defects—commonly known as a “lemon”, California offers some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the nation under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.

Under California law, if a manufacturer cannot repair your vehicle after a reasonable number of attempts, they are required to buy it back or replace it, as well as cover your legal fees. However, winning a claim is not automatic. Drivers often make critical errors early on that give auto manufacturers grounds to deny liability. If you suspect your vehicle is a lemon, here are three mistakes that can derail your California Lemon Law claim and how to avoid them.

1. Not Insisting on Detailed Repair Invoices from an Authorized Dealer

California Lemon Law relies heavily on written evidence. To qualify, you must show that an authorized dealership was given a reasonable opportunity to fix the same safety, value, or use defect while under the manufacturer’s warranty.

The Mistake:

Relying on verbal agreements with service advisors, leaving without a final repair order, or taking the car to an independent local mechanic rather than an authorized franchise dealership.

Why It Harms Your Claim:

  • Inaccurate Records: If a service advisor writes “could not duplicate concern” and you leave without reviewing the ticket, the manufacturer will argue that the defect didn’t occur.
  • Unauthorized Mechanics: Repairs done by independent shops or DIY modifications can void portions of your warranty, allowing manufacturers to blame a third party for the vehicle’s issues.

What to Do Instead:

  • Always take your vehicle to an authorized manufacturer dealership for warranty repairs.
  • Describe symptoms clearly (e.g., “transmission stutters when accelerating from a stop”) and make sure the advisor writes down your exact words on the intake sheet.
  • Never leave the dealership without a signed, physical copy of the final repair invoice detailing the exact dates, mileage in/out, and work performed.

2. Waiting Too Long to Act or Exceeding the Statutory Presumption Window

California law includes a powerful legal tool called the Lemon Law Presumption (CIV § 1793.22). This presumption automatically deems a vehicle a lemon if specific criteria are met within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles of delivery:

  1. The dealer attempted to fix a defect that could cause death or serious bodily injury 2 or more times.
  2. The dealer attempted to fix the same general defect 4 or more times.
  3. The vehicle has been out of service for repairs for a cumulative total of more than 30 days.

The Mistake:

Delaying repairs because the problem seems minor, hoping it will resolve on its own, or waiting until the factory warranty is about to expire before seeking help.

Why It Harms Your Claim:

While you can still file a claim outside the 18-month/18,000-mile window (as long as the issues began under warranty), missing this window shifts the burden of proof back onto you. Furthermore, waiting allows manufacturers to argue that the issue is due to normal wear and tear rather than a factory defect.

What to Do Instead:

Report defects to the dealership immediately upon noticing them. Keep a log of every repair visit and track how many total days your car sits in the service bay.

3. Attempting to Fight the Manufacturer Alone or Accepting a Lowball Cash Offer

Automakers employ experienced legal teams whose primary goal is to minimize payouts or deny lemon law claims outright.

The Mistake:

Contacting the manufacturer directly to demand a buyback without legal representation, or accepting a quick “cash-and-keep” settlement offer directly from the car maker.

Why It Harms Your Claim:

Direct complaints to customer service hotlines often result in long delays, stalled negotiations, or low cash settlements that require you to sign away your legal rights and could leave you stuck with a defective car.

What to Do Instead:

Partner with an experienced California Lemon Law attorney. Under California law, the manufacturer is legally required to pay your legal fees and costs if your claim is successful. This means you do not have to pay out-of-pocket for quality legal representation.

Owners of certain 2020-2022 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) should be aware of a problem involving a potential high-voltage battery defect that could lead to a vehicle fire, even when the vehicle is parked and turned off.  The recall affects vehicles equipped with specific high-voltage battery packs manufactured during a limited production period.

What Is the Problem?

According to Chrysler, some affected Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid vehicles were built with high-voltage battery cells produced on an alternative assembly line at LG Energy Solution (LGES). Engineers have determined that these battery packs may experience an internal failure that can result in thermal runaway, a condition where battery cells rapidly overheat and potentially ignite.  What makes this recall particularly concerning is that the fire risk may exist even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is turned off.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The recall applies to certain 2020-2022 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrids.  The affected vehicles were manufactured between August 5, 2020, and May 2, 2022, during the period when batteries containing cells from the alternative LG Energy Solution production line were installed.  Vehicles built before or after this time frame, non-hybrid Pacifica models, and vehicles equipped with battery cells from LGES’s primary production line are not included in this recall.

How Was the Issue Discovered?

Federal regulators have been investigating reports of battery fires in Chrysler Pacifica PHEVs for more than two years.   The timeline includes:

  • January 17, 2024: NHTSA opened an investigation into battery-related thermal events in earlier model Pacifica PHEVs.
  • March 27, 2026: The investigation expanded to include 2017-2026 Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid vehicles.
  • April 30, 2026: Chrysler launched its own internal investigation into fires involving 2020-2022 models.
  • May 28, 2026: Chrysler concluded that a safety defect exists and initiated a recall.

How Many Fires Have Been Reported?

As of May 15, 2026, Chrysler reported:

  • 4 confirmed field reports of fires
  • 3 customer assistance records
  • No reported injuries
  • No reported crashes

While Chrysler describes the incidents as occurring at a very low frequency, each reported fire involved battery cells manufactured on the alternative LG Energy Solution assembly line.  Engineers have analyzed the one recovered battery pack involved in a fire, but the exact root cause has not yet been determined. Chrysler and LG Energy Solution continue to investigate.

What Should Owners Do?

Until repairs are completed, Chrysler is advising owners to take the following precautions:

  • Do not charge the vehicle.
  • Park the vehicle outside.
  • Park away from homes, garages, and other structures.

These temporary precautions are intended to reduce the risk should a battery failure occur.

What Is the Repair?

Chrysler dealers will perform repairs including:

  • Updating the high-voltage battery control module software
  • Inspecting the high-voltage battery pack
  • Replacing the battery pack if inspection determines replacement is necessary

Owner notification letters are expected to begin mailing June 23, 2026.

Recall Information

  • Manufacturer Recall Number: 52D
  • NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V-362

If your vehicle is included in this recall, it is important to follow Chrysler’s safety recommendations and schedule repairs as soon as they become available.

At Edzant Price LLP, we encourage vehicle owners to stay informed about manufacturer recalls and to document any issues they experience with their vehicles. If a defect results in property damage or personal injury, understanding your legal rights can be an important part of protecting yourself and your family.

The Kawasaki Teryx H2 is one of the most powerful side-by-sides on the market, but some owners have experienced serious problems involving the vehicle’s CVT clutch system. These issues eventually led to a stop-ride notice and recall affecting certain Teryx H2 models.

If your Kawasaki Teryx H2 has been sidelined by clutch failures, repair delays, or recall-related downtime, you may have rights under California Lemon Law.

What Is the Kawasaki Teryx H2 Recall?

Kawasaki recalled certain Teryx H2 models after discovering that a component within the primary clutch assembly, known as the drive converter sheave, could crack or fail during operation.

A failed clutch component can damage the CVT system and may create safety concerns. As a result, Kawasaki instructed affected owners not to operate their vehicles until repairs could be completed.

The recall repair includes replacement of affected clutch components, installation of additional protective hardware, and a software update.

Common Problems Reported by Owners

Owners have reported:

  • Clutch failures
  • Excessive vibration
  • Belt damage and abnormal wear
  • Loss of power
  • Extended repair delays
  • Vehicles parked for weeks or months awaiting parts

For many consumers, the biggest issue is not simply the defect itself, but the loss of use caused by a stop-ride notice or repeated dealership visits.

Can a Recalled Kawasaki Teryx H2 Qualify as a Lemon?

Yes, in some situations.

California Lemon Law may apply when a manufacturer cannot repair a defect that substantially impairs the vehicle’s use, value, or safety.

Your Teryx H2 may qualify if:

  • The clutch or CVT system required multiple repair attempts
  • The vehicle was out of service for an extended period
  • The defect continues after repairs
  • The recall prevented normal use of the vehicle

A recall does not automatically make a vehicle a lemon, but it can be important evidence that a serious defect exists.

What Compensation May Be Available?

If your Kawasaki Teryx H2 qualifies under California Lemon Law, you may be entitled to:

  • A vehicle buyback
  • A replacement vehicle
  • A cash settlement
  • Recovery of attorney fees

Speak With a California Lemon Law Attorney

If your Kawasaki Teryx H2 has suffered clutch problems, repeated repairs, or lengthy downtime, you may have legal options. An experienced California Lemon Law attorney can review your repair history, explain your rights, and determine whether you may be entitled to compensation.

Don’t assume that a recall solves the problem. If your Teryx H2 has spent more time at the dealership than on the trail, it may be time to explore your Lemon Law rights.

Purchasing a used vehicle is a decision many consumers make for perfectly valid reasons. Used cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, and other recreational vehicles often come with a significantly lower price tag than new models, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers. When a used vehicle still has some factory warranty remaining, the deal can appear even more appealing.

However, one critical factor is often overlooked during the buying process: lemon law protection. In many cases, used vehicles are not covered by the lemon law at all, leaving buyers exposed if serious defects arise after purchase.

Why Lemon Law Coverage Matters

California’s lemon law was designed to protect consumers from vehicles that have substantial defects and cannot be properly repaired within a reasonable number of attempts. While this protection is strong for new vehicles, it is far more limited when it comes to used ones.

In some situations, purchasing a used vehicle means the buyer assumes the risk of mechanical problems—even if the vehicle still carries a partial manufacturer warranty. This can come as a surprise to consumers who reasonably expect that any remaining warranty automatically provides full legal protection. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case.

The Important Exception: Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

One category of used vehicles does stand apart: true Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles. These vehicles are sold exclusively by new car dealerships that represent the same manufacturer as the vehicle being sold. A manufacturer-backed CPO vehicle has undergone a standardized inspection process and includes a factory-supported warranty.

It is important to note that not every vehicle advertised as “certified” qualifies as a true CPO. Independent dealerships frequently use the term “certified” to describe their own inspection programs, but these designations do not carry legal weight under the lemon law. Only manufacturer-backed CPO vehicles receive this special consideration.

Because of the added protections and warranties, CPO vehicles are typically priced higher than other used vehicles. While the upfront cost may be greater, the added security can prove invaluable if serious defects arise later.

Courtesy and Demonstrator Vehicles: Another Protected Category

Another lesser-known exception involves courtesy vehicles and demonstrator vehicles. These are vehicles that were previously used by dealerships as loaners for customers or driven by dealership staff. Although they may have mileage on them, title was never transferred to a consumer.

From a legal standpoint, these vehicles are often treated as new under the lemon law, meaning buyers may still be entitled to full lemon law protections. This makes courtesy and demonstrator vehicles an attractive option for consumers seeking the benefits of lemon law coverage without purchasing a brand-new vehicle.

Balancing Savings and Risk

Buying used can absolutely make financial sense—but it is not without trade-offs. The lower purchase price often comes with reduced legal protection, and consumers must decide how much risk they are willing to assume.

Choosing a true Certified Pre-Owned vehicle or a dealership courtesy or demonstrator vehicle may cost more upfront, but these options offer a level of protection similar to purchasing new. In many ways, the additional cost functions like insurance: an investment in peace of mind should the vehicle turn out to have serious defects.

Making an Informed Decision

The key to a smart purchase is understanding what protections come with the vehicle before signing the paperwork. Consumers should ask detailed questions, verify whether a vehicle is truly manufacturer-certified, and confirm the warranty terms in writing.

An informed buyer is far less likely to face unpleasant surprises down the road. When it comes to used vehicles, knowing where lemon law protection applies—and where it does not—can make all the difference.

The Ford Transit is one of the most widely used vans in California, serving everyone from small business owners and contractors to delivery fleets and shuttle operators. While it is commonly viewed as a commercial vehicle, many Ford Transit owners are surprised to learn that California Lemon Law protections may still apply, especially when serious safety defects or recalls are involved.

Recent recalls affecting 2023–2024 Ford Transit models and certain 2026 Ford E-Transit vehicles raise important questions about owner rights and warranty protections under California law.

Recent Ford Transit Recalls

2023–2024 Ford Transit – Engine Cross-Member Recall

Ford Recall Number: 26S04
NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V-061

Ford has issued a safety recall affecting certain 2023–2024 Ford Transit vehicles related to the engine cross-member. According to the recall, a defect in the cross-member may compromise vehicle structural integrity. Depending on the severity, this type of defect can impact vehicle safety, drivability, and long-term reliability.

Structural or frame-related defects are particularly serious because they can:

  • Affect vehicle stability
  • Increase the risk of component failure
  • Reduce the vehicle’s overall safety in everyday driving conditions

2026 Ford E-Transit – High-Voltage Battery Hardware Recall

Ford Recall Number: 26S05
NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V-062

Ford has also issued a recall impacting certain 2026 Ford E-Transit vehicles involving the high-voltage battery pack. The issue stems from missing washers on internal battery bolts, which may lead to:

  • High electrical resistance
  • Electrical arcing
  • Potential battery system malfunction

Defects involving high-voltage battery systems are especially concerning in electric vehicles, as they can affect vehicle performance, charging reliability, and overall safety.

Is the Ford Transit Considered a Commercial Vehicle Under California Lemon Law?

While the Ford Transit is often used for business purposes, commercial use alone does not automatically exclude a vehicle from California Lemon Law coverage.

Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, commercial vehicles may qualify for Lemon Law protection if specific criteria are met.

Key Factors That Determine Eligibility

A Ford Transit may be covered under California Lemon Law if:

  • The vehicle is new or used but still under the manufacturer’s warranty
  • The defect substantially affects use, value, or safety
  • The manufacturer or dealer is unable to repair the defect after a reasonable number of attempts
  • The vehicle is registered in California

For commercial vehicles, two additional factors are especially important:

1. Vehicle Weight

Many Ford Transit models fall under 10,000 pounds GVWR, which keeps them within the scope of Lemon Law protections for commercial vehicles.

2. Fleet Size

Small business owners are often covered if they own or lease no more than five commercial vehicles registered in California. Larger fleets may be subject to different rules.

Why Recalls Matter in Lemon Law Claims

A recall alone does not automatically qualify a vehicle as a lemon. However, recalls can be strong supporting evidence when:

  • The defect is safety-related
  • Repairs are unsuccessful or temporary
  • The vehicle spends excessive time out of service
  • The issue continues after recall repairs are completed

For owners of 2023–2024 Ford Transit vans or 2026 E-Transit vehicles, repeated issues related to the engine crossmember or high-voltage battery system may strengthen a Lemon Law claim if the problem cannot be permanently resolved.

What Ford Transit Owners Should Do

If your Ford Transit or E-Transit is experiencing ongoing problems related to a recall or warranty defect:

  • Keep copies of all repair orders and service records
  • Document how long the vehicle is out of service
  • Note whether the same issue continues after repairs
  • Confirm whether the vehicle is still under factory warranty

California Lemon Law may entitle eligible owners to a buyback, replacement vehicle, or cash compensation, depending on the circumstances.

Final Thoughts

The Ford Transit is not automatically excluded from California Lemon Law protections simply because it is commonly used as a commercial vehicle. Owners of affected 2023–2024 Ford Transit vans and 2026 E-Transit vehicles should be aware that recurring defects — especially those involving structural components or high-voltage battery systems — may give rise to legal remedies under California law.

If recall-related problems persist despite multiple repair attempts, it may be time to explore your rights under the California Lemon Law.

(Recall: SB-25-16-005 / NHTSA Campaign 25V-690)

If you own or are considering buying a 2025 Model 3 or 2026 Model Y from Tesla, there’s a safety issue you should know about. Certain vehicles built between early March and mid-August 2025 are affected by a battery pack contactor fault that may result in an unexpected loss of drive power. This article explains what the issue is, which vehicles are affected, what the risks are, and what owners should do next.

What is the issue?

Tesla has determined that certain 2025 Model 3 and 2026 Model Y vehicles are equipped with a battery pack contactor manufactured with an InTiCa solenoid that may have a poor coil termination connection.

If the contactor opens unexpectedly while the vehicle is in drive, the driver loses the ability to apply torque through the accelerator pedal, resulting in a loss of propulsion. This sudden loss of drive power could increase the risk of a collision.

There is no warning prior to the failure. However, when it occurs, the driver receives an immediate visual alert on the user interface instructing them to safely pull over.

Which vehicles are affected?

  • 2025 Tesla Model 3 vehicles manufactured between March 8 and August 12, 2025.
  • 2026 Tesla Model Y vehicles manufactured between March 15 and August 15, 2025.

Tesla estimates roughly 13,000 vehicles in total are affected, including around 5,000 Model 3s and nearly 8,000 Model Ys produced within those date ranges.

Timeline of Investigation & Recall

  • August 8, 2025: Tesla’s Field Reliability team began investigating service cases where vehicles were unable to enter drive and high coil resistance was detected in the pack contactor.
  • August 8 – September 26, 2025: Tesla collected contactors from the field and performed detailed failure analysis.
  • September 29 – October 2, 2025: Tesla reviewed the failure analysis results, along with repair and production records.
  • October 3, 2025: Tesla completed its investigation and determined the scope of affected vehicles, initiating a voluntary recall.
  • December 9, 2025: Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed to customers.

As of early October 2025, Tesla had identified 36 warranty claims and 26 field reports related to this issue, with no known injuries, collisions, or fatalities.

What is the remedy?

Tesla Service will correct the problem by replacing the high-voltage battery pack contactor.  The updated parts do not include the defective InTiCa solenoid and have improved coil termination connections. The repair takes approximately one hour to complete, and Tesla will notify all affected owners by mail.

Why this matters

Safety risk

A sudden loss of propulsion without warning can be dangerous, especially when driving at highway speeds or in traffic. While no injuries have been reported, Tesla’s recall emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue promptly.

Financial and resale considerations

Unresolved recalls can affect resale value, financing, and insurance. Ensuring the recall repair is completed not only improves safety but also helps preserve the vehicle’s long-term value.

What owners should do if their Tesla vehicle is affected.

  • Schedule a service appointment through the Tesla app or by contacting your nearest Tesla Service Center.
  • Pay attention to alerts while driving. If a visual warning or loss of power occurs, pull over safely and contact Tesla support immediately.
  • Keep documentation of the recall repair for future reference or resale.
  • If buying used, confirm with the seller that any open recalls have been completed.

This recall serves as a reminder that even advanced electric vehicles like Tesla are not immune to hardware issues. While Tesla can often fix software defects through over-the-air updates, mechanical components such as contactors and solenoids require physical inspection and replacement.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this recall affect all 2025 Model 3 and 2026 Model Y vehicles?
A: No. Only vehicles built between March and August 2025 with the affected InTiCa solenoid contactor are included.

Q: My car feels fine — do I still need the repair?
A: Yes. The failure can occur without warning, so even if your car shows no symptoms, Tesla recommends completing the replacement.

Q: How long will the repair take?
A: The contactor replacement typically takes about one hour and is performed free of charge.

Q: Can I continue driving before the repair?
A: Tesla advises that owners continue driving normally but schedule service as soon as possible. If your vehicle shows a propulsion loss alert, pull over safely and contact Tesla.


Conclusion

If you drive a 2025 Tesla Model 3 or 2026 Model Y, this recall deserves your attention. The contactor defect can cause sudden loss of drive power, posing a potential safety risk. Tesla is replacing the affected parts at no cost to owners, with notifications beginning December 2025.
