Emission Control System Warranty (Cont.)
The emission warranty for the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and SCR System covers
defects in workmanship only. Normal maintenance, such as cleaning ash from the filter
at regular maintenance intervals and cleaning the aftertreatment fuel injector on Diesel
oxidation catalyst (DOC) DPF systems, is not covered by the emission warranty.
Note: In response to customer requests, VOLVO Trucks North America may build
vehicles with engines supplied by other manufacturers. In these cases, each engine
manufacturer through its service organization, is responsible for emission control
systems warranty on all parts of the engine assembly, as furnished.
CAUTION
Any unauthorized adjustments to the
emission control components can cause
severe damage to the engine.
1. Repairs by VOLVO Dealers, Sub-Dealers and Service Dealers Repairs covered
by the Emission Control Systems Warranty will be performed by any authorized
VOLVO repair facility with no charge for parts and labor (including diagnosis), using
VOLVO parts for any part of the emission control systems covered by this warranty
and found defective.
2. In an Emergency In an emergency, where an authorized VOLVO facility is not
available, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment, or by the
owner, using any replacement part, within the limitations of paragraphs 3 and 4 in this
section. An emergency condition exists under this section if, after 30 days, repairs
have not been completed or parts are not yet available. VOLVO will reimburse the
owner for such repairs that are covered under this warranty, including diagnosis, not
to exceed VOLVO’s suggested retail price for parts replaced and labor charges based
on VOLVO’s recommended time allowance and geographically appropriate hourly
labor rate. Replaced parts and paid invoices must be presented at a VOLVO facility as
a condition of reimbursement for emergency repairs performed elsewhere.
3. Repairs by Non-VOLVO Facilities Owners may elect to have maintenance,
replacement, or repair of emission control systems performed by any repair facility,
and may elect to use parts other than VOLVO parts without invalidating the warranty
on other components, but the cost of such service or parts will not be covered by
VOLVO under its warranty.
CAUTION
In the event that damage results from unauthorized adjustments to any emission
control system components, as evidenced by settings other than as specified,
or broken fastener seals, the cost of repairing such damage WILL NOT BE
COVERED under warranty
