How? Why?
If you fail a smog check after bringing a car in, it will be a warranty matter with the manufacturer. This is pretty much a slam dunk case for you.
We're buying new cars, not some used car with unknown history. A new car may be exempt from smog checks, but it must meet all applicable smog laws. The lemon law may still apply, but the car won't fail smog just because it has no miles on the odometer.
