Your emission control system warranty covers components whose failure
would increase an engine’s emission of any regulated pollutant, including
electronic controls, fuel injection system, catalytic converter, carburetor
assembly, ignition coils, spark plug, fuel tank, fuel tank caps, air cleaner, air
cleaner housing, air cleaner housing cover 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. Replacing 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
completed at an authorized dealer or repair facility of the owner’s choosing.
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 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.
