What Is Warranted
Volvo warrants that your 2013 model year
Volvo's original painted body sheet metal
panels will remain free from the following
conditions which result from defects in de-
sign, material or workmanship under normal
use and operating conditions (except for
those items listed under “What Is Not War-
ranted”):
1. Defects to the exterior painted sheet metal
surfaces for a period of one (1) year.
2. Perforation of the body sheet metal
panels 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 “Limi-
tations and Disclaimers,” refer to page 39.
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. Re-
pairs 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 re-
paired 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 un-
derside as a result of faulty manufacture or
materials.
