Your emission control system warranty covers 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 if it is originally equipped. Also
included may be hoses, connectors and other emission-related assemblies. Re-
placing 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 complet-
ed at an authorized dealer or repair facility. The Distributor will not cover repairs
performed outside of an authorized dealer or repair facility. The use of replace-
ment 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 a failure of a warranted
part, your claim for repair to bring your vehicle into compliance with applicable
standards may be denied.
This Emission Control System Warranty is in addition to the standard Limited
Warranty.
