Emission Warranty Parts List
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems
of your vehicle were designed,
built, and tested using genuine GM
parts* and the vehicle is certified as
being in conformity with applicable
federal and California emission
requirements.
Accordingly,
it is recommended that any
replacement parts used for
maintenance or for the repair
of emission control systems
be new, genuine GM parts.
The warranty obligations are not
dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement
parts. The owner may elect to
use non-genuine GM parts for
replacement purposes. Use of
replacement parts which are not of
equivalent quality may impair the
effectiveness of emission control
systems.
If other than new, genuine GM
parts are used for maintenance
replacements or for the repair of
parts affecting emission control, the
owner should assure himself/herself
that such parts are warranted by
their manufacturer to be equivalent
to genuine GM parts in performance
and durability.
*
“
Genuine GM parts
”
, when used
in connection with GM vehicles,
means parts manufactured by or
for GM, designed for use on GM
vehicles, and distributed by any
division or subsidiary of GM.
Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs can be
performed by any qualified service
outlet; however, warranty repairs
must be performed by an authorized
dealer except in an emergency
situation when a warranted part or a
warranty station is not reasonably
available to the vehicle owner.
In an emergency, where an
authorized dealer is not reasonably
available, repairs may be
performed at any available service
establishment or by the owner,
using any replacement part. Cadillac
will consider reimbursement for the
expense incurred, including
diagnosis, not to exceed the
manufacturer's suggested retail
price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based
on Cadillac's recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair
and the geographically appropriate
labor rate. A part not being available
within 10 days or a repair not
being completed within 30 days
constitutes an emergency. Retain
receipts and failed parts in order to
receive compensation for warranty
repairs reimbursable due to an
emergency.
If, in an emergency situation,
it is necessary to have repairs
performed by other than a Cadillac
dealer and you believe the repairs
are covered by emission warranties,
take the replaced parts and your
receipt to a Cadillac dealer for
reimbursement consideration.
This applies to both the Federal
Emission Defect Warranty and
Federal Emission Performance
Warranty.
