EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. WARRANTS TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER, AND
EACH SUBSEQUENT OWNER, OF A NEW TRUCK POWERED BY A VOLVO
DIESEL ENGINE THAT THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM OF YOUR TRUCK:
1 Is designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of sale to all regulations of the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, applicable at the time of the manufacture; and
2 Is free from defects in material and workmanship which will cause the emission con-
trol components not to function as designed for a period of use of 5 years or 100,000
miles or 3,000 hours of engine operation, whichever comes first.
The 5 years/100,000 miles/3,000 hour warranty period shall begin on the date the vehicle
is first delivered to the first retail purchaser or if the vehicle is placed in service as a
demonstrator company vehicle prior to the sale at retail, on the date the vehicle is the first
placed in service.
The emission control system of your new Volvo engine was designed, built and tested us-
ing genuine Volvo parts, and the engine is certified as being in conformity with federal
emission control regulations. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts
used for maintenance, replacement or repair be Volvo parts.
The owner may elect to have maintenance, replacement or repair of the emission control
components and systems performed by any vehicle repair establishment or individual and
may elect to use parts other than Volvo parts for such maintenance, replacement or repair
without invalidating this warranty; the cost of such services or parts, however, will not be
covered under the warranty except in an emergency situation. A part not being available or
a repair not being completed within 30 days also constitutes an emergency.
Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness
of emission control systems. If other than Volvo parts are used for maintenance, owner
should obtain assurances that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equiva-
lent to genuine Volvo parts. However, the use of other than Volvo replacement parts does
not invalidate the warranty on other components, unless such parts cause damage to war-
ranted parts.
Repair and service covered by the warranty will be performed by an authorized VTNA
dealer at his place of business with no charge for parts or labor (including diagnosis). The
dealer uses Volvo parts for the emission control system, that required replacement and is
covered by the warranty and if found defective.
In case of an emergency, where an authorized VTNA dealer is not available, repairs may
be performed at any available service establishment or by the owner, using any equivalent
replacement parts and VTNA will reimburse the owner for such repairs (including diagno-
sis) not to exceed VTNA’s suggested retail retail price for the warranted parts and the
labor rate appropriate for the geographical area and the tasks performed.
Replaced parts and paid invoices must be presented to a VTNA dealer for reimbursement.
