Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the scheduled maintenance listed in
your owner manual. GM recommends that you retain all
maintenance receipts for your vehicle, but GM cannot
deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or
for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
