all necessary information (there may be a
charge).
Body builders and dealers who make any
modifications which may affect the final
certification of the engine, vehicle or
equipment assume the sole responsibility
for the vehicle, including labeling and doc-
umentation, affected by their modifica-
tions.
It is their responsibility to certify that the
altered vehicle conforms to all applicable
standards and regulations affected by the
vehicle alteration or continues to comply
with the motor vehicle safety standards
and emissions regulations.
They are responsible for ensuring that
modifications or equipment installation do
not affect the safety of the vehicle.
We are not responsible for any final certifi-
cation or claims regarding product liability,
or warranty claims, which result from any
component, assembly, or system being al-
tered, or which cause non-compliance with
any of the emission control standards or
motor vehicle safety standards, or which
would otherwise cause the vehicle to be or
to become defective or unsafe.
We do not assume responsibility as the fi-
nal-stage manufacturer or the consequen-
tial product liability.
