  • Coverage window: the first year after original delivery or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first.
  • The tests: three repair attempts for the same defect, or the vehicle out of service a cumulative 30 or more business days.
  • What this letter does: the presumption doesn’t apply unless the manufacturer has received prior direct written notification from you and a reasonable opportunity to cure the defect.
  • Where it escalates: the manufacturer’s informal dispute settlement procedure if it has one and complies with federal law (required first), then a civil lawsuit, where a prevailing consumer recovers reasonable attorney’s fees.

RE: Direct written notification under the Wyoming Lemon Law (Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 40-17-101)
Vehicle: [Year] [Make] [Model], VIN [VIN]

Dear [Manufacturer Name] Owner Relations,

I am the [owner / lessee] of a [Year] [Make] [Model], VIN [VIN], purchased [or leased] new on [Purchase Date] from [Dealer Name] in [City], Wyoming.

Since delivery, the vehicle has exhibited the following defect: [describe the defect and how it impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety]. The vehicle has been presented to your authorized dealer for repair of this defect on the following occasions:

• [Date] — [Repair order #] — [What was done]
• [Date] — [Repair order #] — [What was done]
• [Date] — [Repair order #] — [What was done]

In total, the defect has been subject to [number] repair attempts, and the vehicle has been out of service for [number] days. The defect remains uncorrected.

Under Wyoming’s Lemon Law (Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 40-17-101), a manufacturer that cannot conform a new motor vehicle to its warranty after a reasonable number of repair attempts must replace it or refund the purchase price. A reasonable number of attempts is presumed where the same defect has been subject to repair three or more times, or the vehicle has been out of service a cumulative 30 or more business days, within the first year or 18,000 miles — but only once the manufacturer has received prior direct written notification and a reasonable opportunity to cure the defect.

This letter is my direct written notification of the defect described above, giving you a reasonable opportunity to cure it. If it remains uncorrected, I intend to pursue replacement or a refund through your informal dispute settlement procedure, if you have one, or in court, without further notice to you.

Copies of my repair orders are available on request. Please respond in writing to the address above.

Sincerely,
[Your Signature]
[Your Printed Name]

Frequently asked questions

When does a car qualify as a lemon in Wyoming?

The defect must substantially impair the vehicle's use, value, or safety, and the manufacturer must have had a reasonable chance to fix it — in Wyoming that is presumed within the first year after original delivery or 18,000 miles, whichever comes first, after three repair attempts for the same defect, or the vehicle out of service a cumulative 30 or more business days. Keep every repair order; the paper trail is the claim.

Do I need to use an official form?

No official form. Wyoming’s law requires direct written notification to the manufacturer — this letter satisfies that; the presumption doesn’t apply without it.

Who do I send the letter to — the dealer or the manufacturer?

The manufacturer. Lemon law obligations run against the vehicle manufacturer, not the selling dealer — send it to the manufacturer’s customer/owner relations address listed in your warranty booklet or owner’s manual (PostPal’s where-to-mail directory also lists head-office addresses for major automakers like Ford, General Motors, and Tesla). Keep dealing with the dealer for the repairs themselves.

What happens after I send it?

If the manufacturer has an informal dispute settlement procedure that complies with federal law, you generally must try that first. Otherwise, or if you’re dissatisfied with the outcome, you can sue — a prevailing consumer recovers reasonable attorney’s fees.
