remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular
inspection in the written instructions must be warranted
for the warranty period defined in Subsection (b)(2). A
statement in such written instructions to the effect of
“repair or replace as necessary” shall advise owners of the
warranty coverage for emissions related parts. Replace-
ment within the warranty period is covered by the warran-
ty and will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be
warranted for the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as
required maintenance in the written instructions must be
warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the
first scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or
replaced by Rato according to Subsection (4) below. Any
such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be
warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the
warranty provisions must be performed at no charge to the
owner at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (4) above,
warranty services or repairs must be provided at distribu-
tion centers that are franchised to service the subject
engine/equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that
leads to the determination that a warranted part is in fact
defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed
at a warranty station.
(7) Rato is liable for damages to other engine/equipment
components proximately caused by a failure under warran-
ty of any warranted part.
(8) Throughout the emissions control system's warranty
period set out in subsection (b)(2), Rato must maintain a
supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected
demand for such parts and must obtain additional parts if
that supply is exhausted.
(9) Manufacturer-approved replacement parts that do not
increase the exhaust or evaporative emissions of the
engine or emissions control system must be used in the
performance of any warranty maintenance or repairs and
must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use
will not reduce the warranty obligations of Rato.
(10) Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the
Air Resources Board may not be used. The use of any
non-exempted add-on or modified parts will be grounds for
disallowing a warranty claim. Rato will not be liable to
warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a
non-exempted add-on or modified part.
(11) Rato issuing the warranty shall provide any documents
that describe that warranty procedures or policies within
five working days of request by the Executive Officer.
