Volvo’s Emission System Warranty
02
Servicing
It is recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance, repair or re-
placement of emission control systems be
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo reman-
ufactured parts.
The owner may elect to
have maintenance, replacement, or repair
of the emission control devices and sys-
tems performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual. He/she may
also elect to use parts other than genuine
Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufac-
tured parts for such maintenance, re-
placement, or repair without invalidating
this warranty.
The cost of such service
parts, however, will not be covered under the
warranty except in an emergency. (See Re-
tailer Service.)
Parts
Replacement parts which are not equivalent
to Volvo quality may impair the effectiveness
of emission control systems. If other than
genuine Volvo parts or genuine Volvo reman-
ufactured parts are used for maintenance, re-
placement or repair of components affecting
emissions, the owner should obtain assur-
ances that such parts are warranted by their
manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine
Volvo Cars of North America, LLC parts in
performance and durability.
Volvo assumes no liability under this warran-
ty for parts other than genuine Volvo parts or
genuine Volvo remanufactured parts. The
use of non-Volvo replacement parts, howev-
er, does not invalidate the warranty on other
components unless non-Volvo parts cause
damage to those warranted parts or sys-
tems.
Retailer Service
Repairs, adjustments, and service covered
by this warranty will be performed by any au-
thorized Volvo retailer at his place of busi-
ness. There will be no charge for parts or la-
bor (including diagnosis) when genuine Volvo
parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts
are used for any part of the emission control
system or for any part which may affect
emissions covered by this warranty.
If an emergency occurs and an authorized
Volvo retailer is not reasonably available, re-
pairs may be performed at any available ser-
vice establishment or by any individual, using
any replacement part. When a warranted part
is not available within thirty (30) days or the
repair cannot be completed within thirty (30)
days, repairs may be performed at any avail-
able service establishment or by any individ-
ual, using any replacement part.
Volvo will reimburse the owner for emergen-
cy repairs (including diagnosis) that are cov-
ered under this warranty. The expenses,
however, cannot exceed our suggested retail
price for all warranted parts replaced and la-
bor charges, based on Volvo's recommend-
ed time allowance for the warranty repair and
the geographically appropriate hourly labor
rate. Replaced parts and paid invoices must
be presented at a Volvo retailer as a condi-
tion of reimbursement for emergency repairs
not performed by a Volvo retailer.
Failure to notify the owner of a decision to
honor or deny a Performance Warranty Claim
within thirty (30) days from the time the vehi-
cle is initially presented for repair shall result
in the vehicle manufacturer being responsi-
ble for repairing the vehicle without charge to
the vehicle owner, unless such failure is at-
tributable to the vehicle owner or to events
beyond the control of the vehicle manufac-
turer or the repair facility.
You are advised to have all recommended
maintenance or repairs on your new 2013
Volvo vehicle performed. Volvo will not deny
a warranty claim solely because you have no
record of maintenance; however, we may
deny a warranty claim if your failure to per-
form required maintenance resulted in the
failure of a warranted part.
