standard warranty is the responsibility of the owner.
Coverage of repairs under this warranty applies only when repairs are completed at an
authorized dealer or repair facility. The Distributor will not cover repairs performed out-
side of an authorized dealer or repair facility, except in an emergency situation. The use
of replacement 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 or repair facility 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.
If an emergency situation exists when a warranted part or a dealer is not reasonably
available to the owner , repairs may be performed at any available service
establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part. The Distributor shall
reimburse the owner of the expenses, including diagnostic charges, not to exceed the
Distributors suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges
based on the Distributors recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the
geographically appropriate hourly rate. The owner may reasonably be required to keep
receipts and failed parts in order to receive compensation.
