California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty*
This limited warranty applies to California
certified vehicles distributed by MINI USA, a
Division of BMW of North America, LLC
registered and operated primarily in California.
*The California Emissions Control System
Limited Warranty applies to all 2014 U.S.-
specification MINI vehicles registered in
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont or
Washington.
MINI USA, a Division of BMW of North America,
LLC warrants to the original purchaser and each
subsequent owner that the vehicle is:
a. designed, built and equipped so as to
conform with the applicable California Air
Resources Board emission standards.
b. free from defects in materials and
workmanship which cause any part that can
affect emissions to fail to conform with
applicable requirements or to fail a California
Smog Check test or EPA approved short test
for a period of 3 years or 50,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
c. free from defects in materials and
workmanship in emission related parts, which
are contained in the California Emission
Warranty Parts List on page 28, for a period of
8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.
Coverage begins on the date of first retail sale or
the date the vehicle is first placed into service as
a sales demonstrator, Aftersales Mobility
Program (AMP) Vehicle or company vehicle,
whichever is earlier.
To obtain service under this warranty, the vehicle
must be brought, upon failure of a Smog Check
test or upon discovery of the defect, to the
workshop of any authorized MINI dealer, during
normal business hours. The authorized MINI
dealer will honor or deny your claim within
30 days. If the claim is denied, the authorized
MINI dealer will notify you in writing of the
reason(s). The authorized MINI dealer is required
by law to honor the claim if notice is not given to
the owner within 30 days.
The authorized MINI dealer will, without charge
for parts or labor (including diagnosis), either
adjust, repair or replace the defective part and
other parts affected by the failure of the
warranted part, if any. If your vehicle failed the
California Smog Check test or an EPA approved
short test, then MINI USA will repair your vehicle
so that it will pass this test. Items that require
scheduled replacement are warranted up to the
replacement interval specified in the Service
section of this Statement. MINI USA may repair a
part in lieu of replacing it when performing
warranty repairs. Parts for which replacements
are made become the property of MINI USA.
After 3 years or 50,000 miles, and in accordance
with paragraph (c) above, such repairs are limited
to the repair or replacement of those parts
identified in the California Emission Control
System Limited Warranty List.
If your California registered vehicle is between 7
and 8 years old and has been driven less than
80,000 miles, then your vehicle is eligible for
additional warranty coverage under the Federal
Emissions Warranty.
A repair performed as the result of a Smog Check
test failure due to a defect in a part, which is
warranted for 8 years or 100,000 miles, is
covered.
Warranty repairs do not constitute an extension
of the original limited warranty period for the
vehicle or a part thereof.
