Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Original Equipment Alterations
This warranty does not cover any
damage or failure resulting from
modification or alteration to the
vehicle's original equipment as
manufactured or assembled by
General Motors. Examples of the
types of alterations that would not
be covered include cutting, welding,
or disconnecting of the vehicle's
original equipment parts and
components.
Additionally, General Motors does
not warranty non
‐
GM parts and/or
calibrations.
The use of parts
and/or control module calibrations
not issued through General Motors
will void the warranty coverage
for those components that are
damaged or otherwise affected by
the installation of the non
‐
GM part
and/or control module calibration.
The only exception is that non
‐
GM
parts labeled
“
Certified to EPA
Standards
”
are covered by the
Federal Emissions Performance
Warranty.
Recreation Vehicle and Special
Body or Equipment Alterations
Installations or alterations to
the original equipment vehicle,
or chassis, as manufactured and
assembled by GM, are not covered
by this warranty. The special body
company, assembler, or equipment
installer is solely responsible
for warranties on the body or
equipment and any alterations
to any of the parts, components,
systems, or assemblies installed
by GM. Examples include, but
are not limited to, special body
installations, such as recreational
vehicles, the installation of any
non-GM part, cutting, welding,
or the disconnecting of original
equipment vehicle or chassis
parts and components, extension
of wheelbase, suspension and
driveline modifications, and axle
additions.
Pre-Delivery Service
Defects in the mechanical,
electrical, sheet metal, paint, trim,
and other components of your
vehicle may occur at the factory
or while it is being transported to
the dealer facility. Normally, any
defects occurring during assembly
are identified and corrected at
the factory during the inspection
process. In addition, dealers inspect
each vehicle before delivery. They
repair any uncorrected factory
defects and any transit damage
detected before the vehicle is
delivered to you.
Any defects still present at the time
the vehicle is delivered to you are
covered by the warranty. If you find
any defects, advise your dealer
without delay. For further details
concerning any repairs which the
dealer may have made prior to you
taking delivery of your vehicle, ask
your dealer.
