What Is Warranted
Volvo warrants that your 2011 model year
Volvo's original painted body sheet metal
panels will remain free from the following con-
ditions which result from defects in design,
material or workmanship under normal use
and operating conditions (except for those
items listed under “What Is Not Warranted”):
1. Defects to the exterior painted sheet metal
surfaces for a period of one (1) year.
2. Perforation of the body sheet metal pan-
els for a period of twelve (12) years.
Limitations
No implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of
this warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights,
and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state or province to prov-
ince.
Some states/provinces do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warran-
ty lasts, so the above limitations may not
apply to you.
For a complete description of Volvo's “Limita-
tions and Disclaimers,” refer to page 41.
Warranty Period
The warranty period is for a total of twelve
(12) years. There is no mileage/kilometer limi-
tation.
The warranty begins with the date the vehicle
is sold/ delivered to the first retail purchaser
or put into service, whichever occurs first.
Warranty Repairs
Under the terms of this warranty, only an au-
thorized Volvo retail facility will repair or re-
place, at Volvo's discretion, the affected body
sheet metal panels free of charge. Repairs
will be made within a reasonable period of
time, during normal business hours.
Corrosion Protection Warranty
Should any part of the bodywork of the vehi-
cle be perforated by rust corrosion, the pan-
el(s) affectedly the perforation will be repaired
or replaced by any Volvo dealer or workshop
authorized by Volvo, completely free of
charge, regardless of any change in vehicle
ownership. The term “perforation” means
hole that penetrates the bodywork caused by
corrosion from the inside or underside as a
result of faulty manufacture or materials.
