8 INTRODUCTION
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the motor vehicle engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in this manual. Volvo Trucks North America recommends that you retain
all receipts covering maintenance of your vehicle, but Volvo Trucks North America cannot
deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of
all scheduled maintenance listed in other manuals which were supplied with your vehicle.
You are responsible for presenting your motor vehicle engine to a VOLVO dealer as soon
as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of
time, not to exceed 30 days.
As the motor vehicle engine owner, you should also be aware that Volvo Trucks North
America may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should
contact the Volvo Trucks North America Warranty Department at P. O. Box 26115,
Greensboro, NC 27402–6115, or the California Air Resources Board at 9480 Telstar Avenue,
El Monte, California 91731.
(Applicable only to vehicles and/or engines certified for sale and registered in the
State of California)
Volvo Trucks North America warrants the Emission Control Systems on each new VOLVO
diesel engine in a new VOLVO truck to comply with all State of California emissions
regulations applicable at the time of manufacture of the engine, and to be free from defects in
material and workmanship under normal use and service up to 60 months, or 100,000 miles,
or 3,000 engine operating hours, whichever occurs first, provided all Volvo Trucks North
America maintenance requirements are followed as described in this manual. All warranty
periods are calculated from the date-in-service of the new vehicle. The repair or replacement
of defective parts will be made without charge for the cost of parts and, if repairs are made at
an authorized Volvo Trucks North America dealership, there will be no charge for labor.
Volvo Trucks North America’s obligation under this warranty is limited to the repair or
replacement, at Volvo Trucks North America’s option, of any part(s) of the Emission Control
Systems of such engine and/or vehicle found to be defective upon examination by Volvo
Trucks North America and provided that such part(s) were returned to Volvo Trucks North
America or its nearest authorized Dealer within a reasonable period of time.
