Emission Control System Warranty
Your Emission Control System Warranty covers original components whose failure would increase an engine’s emission, including electronic
controls, fuel injection system, carburetor, the ignition system, catalytic converter, or any other system utilized in this vehicle to control
emission. Also included may be hoses, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Replacing or repairing other components (including
parts, labor and other costs) not covered by this Emission Control System Warranty or the standard warranty is the responsibility of the owner.
Coverage of repairs under this warranty applies only when repairs are completed at an authorized dealer or repair facility. The distributor will
not cover repairs performed outside of an authorized dealer or repair facility, except in an emergency situation. The use of replacement parts not
equivalent to the original parts may impair the effectiveness of your vehicle’s emission control system. If such a replacement part is used and an
authorized dealer determines it is defective or causes the failure of a warranted part, your claim for repair to bring your vehicle into compliance
with applicable standards may be denied.
If an emergency situation exists when a warranted part or an authorized dealer is not reasonably available to the owner, repairs may be
performed at any available service establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part. The distributor shall reimburse the owner for the
expenses, including diagnostic charges, not to exceed the distributor’s suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges
based on the distributor’s recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate. The owner
may reasonably be required to keep receipts and failed parts in order to receive compensation.
This Emission Control System Warranty is in addition to the standard Limited Warranty.
Exclusions and Limitations
This warranty does not cover the following:
•
Failures or malfunctions of the emission control systems caused by abuse, alteration, accident, misuse or the use of leaded gasoline.
•
Replacement of expendable maintenance items, unless it is original equipment defective in material or workmanship under normal use,
and the rst required replacement interval for the item has not been reached. Expendable maintenance items include, but are not limited to,
spark plugs, lters, coolant, lubricants, gaskets, hoses and belts.
•
Replacements of parts, and other services and adjustments for required maintenance.
•
Any vehicle equipped with an odometer or hour meter where the reading is altered so that actual mileage cannot be readily determined.
