(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of two
years.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions
required by subsection (d) must be warranted for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2). If any such
part fails during the period of warranty coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by the manufacturer according to
Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for the remaining
