To make this determination, a consumer may be eligible for the State Certified Arbitration Program (SCAP) administered by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs when the vehicle's defect has been subject to examination or repair during the manufacturer's express warranty and within 24,000 miles and 2 years of the original delivery of the vehicle to a consumer (the Lemon Law Rights Period). At least one of the following must apply: 1. a "nonconforming defect" has been examined or repaired three or more times and the defect continues to exist; or 2. a "life-threatening safety defect" has been examined or repaired at least once and the defect continues to exist; or 3. the vehicle has been out of service because of repair of one or more defects for thirty (30) or more cumulative business day s.
