21. EMISSIONS CONTROL – SYSTEM WARRANTY
21- 2
·
Your emission control system warranty covers components whose
failure would increase an engine’s emission, including electronic
controls, fuel injection system, carburetor, the ignition system, catalytic
converter, 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. The Distributor will
not cover repairs performed outside 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
vehicles’ 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.
If an emergency 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 for the
expenses, including diagnostic charges, not to exceed the Distributor’s
suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor
charges based on the Distributor’s recommended time allowance for
the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate.
The owner may reasonably be required to keep receipts and failed
parts order to receive compensation.
The Emission Control System Warranty is in addition to the standard
Limited Warranty.
