EMISSIONS WARRANTIES
\n FOR 1995 AND NEWER CARS & TRUCKS<\/p>\n

Federally required emission control warranties protect you, the
\nvehicle owner, from the cost of repairs for certain emission related
\nfailures that result from manufacturer defects in materials and
\nworkmanship or that cause your vehicle to exceed federal emission
\nstandards. Manufacturers have been required by federal law to provide
\nemission control coverage for vehicles since 1972. There are two
\nfederal emission control warranties discussed in this fact sheet: (A)
\n“Performance Warranty” and (B) “Design and Defect Warranty”. This
\nfact sheet explains each warranty in detail, provides you with a list
\nof some of the parts covered under these warranties, explains the
\nprocedures for making an emissions warranty claim, and answers some of
\nthe most commonly asked questions about emissions warranties.
\nFinally, we will give you some tips on how to prevent future
\nemission-related failures and maintain the longevity of your vehicle’s
\nengine.<\/p>\n

A. PERFORMANCE WARRANTY<\/p>\n

The Performance Warranty covers repairs which are required during
\nthe first 2 years or 24,000 miles of vehicle use because the vehicle
\nfailed an emission test. Specified major emission control components
\nare covered for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles. If you are a
\nresident of an area with an Inspection and Maintenance (I\/M) program
\nthat meets federal guidelines, you are eligible for this warranty
\nprotection provided that:<\/p>\n

* Your car or light-duty truck fails an approved emissions test;
\n and<\/p>\n

* Your vehicle is less than 2 years old and has less than 24,000
\n miles (up to 8 years\/80,000 miles for certain components); and<\/p>\n

* Your state or local government requires that you repair the
\n vehicle; and<\/p>\n

* The test failure does not result from misuse of the vehicle or a
\n failure to follow the manufacturers’ written maintenance
\n instructions; and<\/p>\n

* You present the vehicle to a warranty-authorized manufacturer
\n representative, along with evidence of the emission test failure,
\n during the warranty period.<\/p>\n

During the first 2 years\/24,000 miles, the Performance Warranty
\ncovers any repair or adjustment which is necessary to make your
\nvehicle pass an approved, locally-required emission test and as long
\nas your vehicle has not exceeded the warranty time or mileage
\nlimitations and has been properly maintained according to the
\nmanufacturer’s specifications.<\/p>\n

B. DESIGN AND DEFECT WARRANTY<\/p>\n

The Design and Defect Warranty covers repair of emission related
\nparts which become defective during the warranty period. The Design
\nand Defect warranty for model year 1995 and newer light-duty cars and
\ntrucks is outlined below:<\/p>\n

Design and Defect Warranty Coverage for 1995 and newer light-duty
\nvehicles:<\/p>\n

* Emission control and emission related parts are covered for the
\n first 2 years or 24,000 miles of vehicle use; and<\/p>\n

* Specified major emission control components are covered for the
\n first 8 years or 80,000 miles of vehicle use.<\/p>\n

According to federal law, an emission control or emission related
\npart, or a specified major emission control component, that fails
\nbecause of a defect in materials or workmanship, must be repaired or
\nreplaced by the vehicle manufacturer free of charge as long as the
\nvehicle has not exceeded the warranty time or mileage limitations for
\nthe failed part.<\/p>\n

Design and Defect Warranty coverage may vary depending on the
\ntype of vehicle you have (e.g., heavy-duty trucks, motorcycles or
\nrecreational vehicles have different time and mileage requirements).
\nTo determine the length of warranty coverage that applies to your
\nvehicle, look for the emissions warranty information in your owner’s
\nmanual or warranty booklet. If you own a California vehicle, you may
\nbe entitled to additional warranty coverage.<\/p>\n

The owner’s manual or warranty booklet will also provide you with
\nguidance on the procedures for obtaining warranty coverage. If you
\nhave questions about the emissions warranties on your vehicle or need
\nhelp in filing a warranty claim, contact your local car dealer or the
\nmanufacturer’s zone or regional representative listed in your owner’s
\nmanual or warranty booklet.<\/p>\n

What Emission Control and Emission Related Parts Are Covered by The
\nDesign and Defect Warranty?<\/p>\n

An emission control part is any part installed with the primary
\npurpose of controlling emissions. An emission related part is any
\npart that has an effect on emissions. Listed below are some examples
\nof parts or systems which fall under these definitions. A more
\ncomplete list can be found in your owner’s manual\/warranty booklet.
\nIf any of the parts listed below fail to function or function
\nimproperly because of a defect in materials or workmanship, causing
\nyour vehicle to exceed federal emission standards, they should be
\nrepaired or replaced under the emissions warranty if your vehicle is
\nless than 2 years old and has been driven less than 24,000 miles. One
\nmanufacturer may use more parts than another, so the following list is
\nnot complete for all vehicles.<\/p>\n

EMISSION CONTROL PARTS<\/p>\n

Exhaust Gas Conversion Systems<\/p>\n

oxygen sensor thermal reactor
\n catalytic converter dual-walled exhaust pipe<\/p>\n

Exhaust Gas Recirculation System<\/p>\n

EGR valve thermal vacuum switch
\n EGR solenoid EGR spacer plate
\n EGR backpressure transducer Sensor and switches use to
\n control EGR flow<\/p>\n

Evaporative Emission Control System<\/p>\n

purge valve fuel filler cap
\n purge solenoid vapor storage canister and filter<\/p>\n

Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System<\/p>\n

PCV valve PCV solenoid<\/p>\n

Air Injection System<\/p>\n

Air pump diverter, bypass, or gulp valve
\n reed valve anti-backfire or deceleration valve<\/p>\n

Early Fuel Evaporative (EFE) System<\/p>\n

EFE valve thermal vacuum switch
\n heat riser valve<\/p>\n

Fuel Metering System<\/p>\n

electronic control module (unit) or EFI air flow meter, computer
\n command module or mixture control unit, deceleration controls,
\n electronic choke, fuel injectors, fuel injection units and fuel
\n altitude compensator sensor, bars or rails for EFI or TBI systems,
\n mixture settings on sealed fuel mixture control solenoid, diaphragm
\n or other systems, fuel metering components that achieve closed\/other
\n feedback control sensors\/loop operation switches and valves<\/p>\n

Air Induction System<\/p>\n

thermostatically controlled air cleaner, air box<\/p>\n

Ignition Systems<\/p>\n

electronic spark advance timing advance\/retard systems,
\n high energy electronic ignition<\/p>\n

Miscellaneous Parts<\/p>\n

hoses, gaskets, brackets, clamps and other accessories used in the
\n above systems<\/p>\n

EMISSION RELATED PARTS<\/p>\n

These are examples of other parts of your vehicle which have a
\nprimary purpose other than emissions control but which nevertheless
\nhave significant effects on your vehicle’s emissions. If any of these
\nparts fail to function or function improperly, your vehicle’s
\nemissions may exceed federal standards. Therefore, when any of the
\nparts of the following systems are defective in materials or
\nworkmanship and have failed in a way that would be likely to cause
\nyour vehicle’s emissions to exceed federal standards, they should be
\nrepaired or replaced under the emissions warranty:<\/p>\n

Fuel Injection System<\/p>\n

fuel distributor<\/p>\n

Air Induction System<\/p>\n

turbocharger intake manifold<\/p>\n

Exhaust System<\/p>\n

exhaust manifold<\/p>\n

Ignition System<\/p>\n

distributor spark plugs
\n ignition wires and coil<\/p>\n

Miscellaneous Parts<\/p>\n

hoses, gaskets, brackets, clamps, and other accessories used in
\n the above systems.<\/p>\n

What Are Specified Major Emission Control Components?<\/p>\n

There are three specified major emission control components,
\ncovered for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles of vehicle use on 1995
\nand newer vehicles:<\/p>\n

* Catalytic converters.<\/p>\n

* The electronic emissions control unit or computer (ECU).<\/p>\n

* The onboard emissions diagnostic device or computer (OBD).<\/p>\n

Catalytic converters are critical emission control components
\nthat have been installed on most cars and trucks manufactured since
\n1975. Since engines don’t burn fuel completely during the combustion
\nprocess, the exhaust contains a significant amount of harmful
\npollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and oxides of
\nnitrogen. The catalytic converter aids the conversion of these
\npollutants to less harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, water
\nvapor, nitrogen, and oxygen before the exhaust is expelled into the
\nenvironment.<\/p>\n

The electronic emissions control unit or computer monitors
\ncertain powertrain functions and controls various operating parameters
\nto help the vehicle run efficiently and with the lowest possible
\nemissions. Ignition, transmission function, air injection, exhaust
\ngas recirculation (EGR), engine operating temperature and fuel system
\nparameters are some of the systems monitored and\/or controlled by the
\nelectronic emissions control unit.<\/p>\n

The onboard emissions diagnostic device monitors the operation of
\na vehicle’s emission control system and alerts the driver with a
\ndashboard light when malfunctions occur. The system will record where
\nthe problem is occurring and assist automotive technicians in
\ndiagnosing and repairing emission control malfunctions. Since some
\nemission control malfunctions do not have an adverse effect on vehicle
\nperformance, they can go undetected by the driver for quite some time.
\nThe onboard diagnostic device will help catch malfunctions early,
\npreventing a significant output of harmful exhaust emissions from your
\nvehicle, and possibly in time to be covered by the emissions control
\nwarranty. Often this “device” is part of the electronic control unit
\nmentioned above.<\/p>\n

In the future, there may be other parts or components that
\nqualify for this coverage. Check your owner’s manual or warranty book
\nfor possible additional coverage.<\/p>\n

How Long Do the Emissions Warranties Apply to Individual Parts of My
\nVehicle?<\/p>\n

For 1995 and newer model year vehicles, emission control and
\nemission related parts are warranted for the first 2 years or 24,000
\nmiles of vehicle use. Specified major emission-control components are
\nwarranted for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles of vehicle use.<\/p>\n

Parts with a stated replacement interval, such as, “replace at
\n15,000 miles or 12 months,” are warranted up to the first replacement
\npoint only.<\/p>\n

How Do I Know Whether I Am Entitled to Coverage Under the Emissions
\nWarranties?<\/p>\n

If you or a qualified automotive technician can show that an
\nemission control or emission related component, or a specified major,
\nemission-control component, is defective, the repair or replacement of
\nthe part is probably covered under the Design and Defect warranty. If
\nyour vehicle failed a federally approved emissions test and has not
\nexceeded the time and mileage limitations for the Performance
\nwarranty, any repairs or adjustments necessary for your vehicle to
\npass should be covered by the manufacturer if the failure was not
\ncaused by improper maintenance or abuse. When you believe you have
\nidentified a defective part, or your vehicle fails an emission test,
\nyou should follow the procedures for making a warranty claim as
\nidentified by the manufacturer in your owner’s manual or warranty
\nbooklet. When taking your vehicle in to have repairs performed under
\nthe Performance Warranty, be sure to have with you a copy of the I\/M
\ntest report as proof of your emissions test failure.<\/p>\n

May I Have My Regular Repair Facility Perform Warranty Repairs?<\/p>\n

If you plan to have the manufacturer pay for a repair under
\neither of the emissions warranties, you must take the vehicle to a
\nfacility authorized by the vehicle manufacturer for repair to give
\nthem the opportunity to diagnose and repair it. Note that if your
\nregular repair facility is not authorized by the vehicle manufacturer,
\nthey are not obligated to advise you of parts that are covered under
\nwarranty. Before giving your automotive technician the “go ahead” to
\nperform repairs, check your owner’s manual\/warranty booklet for
\npossible warranty coverage.<\/p>\n

Do the Emissions Warranties Apply to Used Vehicles?<\/p>\n

Yes. It does not matter if you bought your vehicle new or used
\nfrom a dealer or anyone else. As long as the vehicle has not exceeded
\nthe warranty time or mileage limitations, these warranties apply.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before buying a used vehicle, be sure that all of
\nthe emission control components as originally installed by the
\nmanufacturer are present and functioning properly. If emission
\ncontrol components are missing or have been tampered with, or the
\nconfiguration of the exhaust system has been changed, the emissions
\nwarranties on this vehicle may be void. In addition, if you live in
\nan area with an I\/M program, the vehicle will probably not pass
\ninspection and you will incur the expense of parts or repairs
\nnecessary for the vehicle to pass.<\/p>\n

Can Any Portion of An Emissions Warranty Repair Be Charged to Me?<\/p>\n

If you have valid warranty claim, you cannot be charged for any
\ncosts associated with the diagnosis or repair of the problem,
\nincluding labor charges, parts, or miscellaneous items that are
\nnecessary to complete the repair. For example, if a manufacturer
\nagrees to replace a catalytic converter under the emissions warranty,
\nyou should not be charged for the diagnosis of the bad converter, or
\nany pipes, brackets, adjustments, or labor needed to complete the
\nreplacement.<\/p>\n

What Reasons Can the Manufacturer Use to Deny a Warranty Claim?<\/p>\n

If your vehicle is within the age and mileage limits for the
\napplicable emissions warranty, the manufacturer can only deny coverage
\nif evidence shows that you have failed to properly maintain and use
\nyour vehicle, causing the part or emission test failure. Some
\nexamples of misuse and malmaintenance include the following:<\/p>\n

* vehicle abuse such as off-road driving or overloading; or<\/p>\n

* tampering with emission control parts or systems, including
\n removal or intentional damage of such parts or systems; or<\/p>\n

* improper maintenance, including failure to follow maintenance
\n schedules and instructions specified by manufacturer, or use of
\n replacement parts which are not equivalent to the originally
\n installed parts.<\/p>\n

What Should I Do If My First Attempt to Obtain Warranty Coverage Is
\nDenied?<\/p>\n

If your first attempt to receive emissions warranty coverage is
\ndenied, you should do the following:<\/p>\n

1) Ask for a detailed explanation, in writing as to why emissions
\n warranty coverage was denied; and<\/p>\n

2) Ask for the name(s) of the person(s) involved in the decision
\n to deny coverage, including anyone from the manufacturer’s
\n regional or zone office; and<\/p>\n

3) Ask for the name(s) of the person(s) with the manufacturer you
\n should contact to appeal the denial of coverage under the
\n emissions warranty.<\/p>\n

4) Contact and, if necessary, write to the person mentioned above
\n requesting coverage and giving the basis for your request. Repeat
\n and continue the appeal process until you are satisfied or have
\n exhausted all means of appeal.<\/p>\n

What If the Dealer Claims That My Vehicle Can Pass the I\/M Test
\nWithout Repair?<\/p>\n

The law does not require that you fail every I\/M test in order to
\ntrigger the warranty. If a valid test shows that you have an emission
\nproblem or there is a defective part, you should get it fixed, while
\nyour vehicle is still within the warranty period. Otherwise, you
\nmight fail a future test because of the same problem and have to pay
\nfor the repair yourself. If you doubt your original test results or
\nthe dealer’s results or diagnosis, you can always get another opinion
\nfrom another dealer or your I\/M program.<\/p>\n

How Can Maintenance Affect My Emission Warranty Coverage?<\/p>\n

Performance and the cost of scheduled maintenance are your
\nresponsibility. You may either perform scheduled maintenance yourself
\nor have a qualified repair facility perform it for you.<\/p>\n

If a part fails as a direct result of your vehicle not being
\nproperly maintained or being used in a manner inconsistent with the
\nmanufacturer’s recommendations, or a part fails as a result of the
\nvehicle being involved in an accident, the manufacturer may not be
\nrequired to repair or replace the failed part under warranty. For
\nexample, failure to replace the spark plugs at the intervals specified
\nin the maintenance schedule can lead to misfiring and eventual damage
\nto your catalytic converter – a very expensive part to replace. If
\nthe maintenance is not performed properly as recommended, the
\nmanufacturer may deny warranty coverage.<\/p>\n

To ensure maximum air pollution reduction from the emission
\ncontrol system, as well as to ensure continued warranty coverage,
\nbetter gas mileage and performance, and longer vehicle life, you
\nshould have all maintenance performed as recommended by the
\nmanufacturer’s schedule. A list of scheduled maintenance for your
\nvehicle can be found in the owner’s manual or warranty booklet.<\/p>\n

Do I Have to Show Any Maintenance Receipts Before I Can Make an
\nEmissions Warranty Claim?<\/p>\n

No. Proof of maintenance is not required in order to obtain
\ncoverage under the emissions warranty if an emission control or
\nemission related component, or a specified major emission control
\ncomponent, is found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
\nHowever, when it is likely that the lack of proper maintenance has
\ncaused the particular part to fail, you may be asked to show that
\nscheduled maintenance was performed.<\/p>\n

If you perform scheduled maintenance yourself, you should keep a
\ndetailed log of work performed and any receipts for parts purchased to
\nperform the maintenance. In some instances, you may be asked to
\nqualify your ability to perform such maintenance. Vehicles should
\nalways be maintained according to manufacturers’ specifications.<\/p>\n

Are Dealers the Only Persons Allowed to Perform Scheduled Maintenance
\nRecommended by the Manufacturer?<\/p>\n

No. Scheduled maintenance may be performed by anyone who has the
\nknowledge and ability to perform the maintenance and repair. You may
\neven maintain the vehicle yourself, as long as the maintenance is
\nperformed according to the manufacturer’s instructions provided with
\nthe vehicle.<\/p>\n

For your protection, before taking your vehicle to a repair
\nfacility to have any maintenance performed, check your maintenance
\nbooklet and make a list of the scheduled maintenance to be performed
\nat that time. We suggest that you present this list to your auto
\ntechnician as opposed to merely asking for a “tune-up” or a “12,000
\nmiles servicing.” Your receipt should list all the maintenance
\nperformed and should be kept for your records.<\/p>\n

If you maintain the vehicle yourself, you should keep receipts
\nfor parts and a maintenance log to verify your work.<\/p>\n

If I Need Replacement Parts, Must I Use the Vehicle Manufacturer’s
\nParts Only?<\/p>\n

No. A manufacturer cannot require the use of any specific brand
\nof parts in the maintenance of your vehicle. However, the
\nmanufacturer can require you to use parts that are of equal quality to
\nthe original parts.<\/p>\n

If I Buy a Used Vehicle, How Do I Know Whether It Has Been Maintained
\nAccording to The Maintenance Schedule?<\/p>\n

The best way to learn whether the vehicle has been maintained
\naccording to its schedule is to ask the seller for receipts proving
\nthat all of the scheduled maintenance was performed. Having the
\nreceipts on hand will provide necessary evidence if the question of
\nmaintenance arises when considering repairs under warranty. To
\nprevent any loss of your vehicle’s emission performance, you should
\ncontinue to follow the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual or
\nwarranty booklet.<\/p>\n

If the seller does not have the owner’s manual, warranty booklet
\nor maintenance schedule, you can obtain them from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

How Will I Know If My Claim Has Been Accepted As Valid?<\/p>\n

After you present your vehicle for a Performance Warranty claim,
\nthe manufacturer has 30 days to either repair the vehicle or notify
\nyou in writing that the claim has been denied. If you are making a
\nPerformance Warranty claim and your I\/M program imposes a shorter
\nrepair deadline, the manufacturer must meet the deadline. Because of
\nthe significance of these deadlines, you should get written
\nverification from the dealer showing that they acknowledge the date by
\nwhich repairs must be made.<\/p>\n

There are no specific requirements for Defect Warranty claims,
\nhowever, manufacturer responses should be made within a reasonable
\ntime period.<\/p>\n

What Happens If the Manufacturer Does Not Respond to My Performance
\nWarranty Claim Within the 30-Day Deadline?<\/p>\n

You may agree to extend the deadline, or it will be automatically
\nextended if the delay was beyond the control of the manufacturer.
\nOtherwise, a missed deadline means the manufacturer forfeits the right
\nto deny the claim. You may then have the repair performed at a
\nfacility of your choice, at the manufacturer’s expense. (This
\nrequirement only applies to Performance Warranty claims.)<\/p>\n

What Do I Do If the Manufacturer Will Not Honor What I Believe to Be a
\nValid Emissions Warranty Claim?<\/p>\n

If you believe the manufacturer has not honored a valid claim and
\nyour vehicle has not exceeded the time and mileage limitations, you
\nshould contact an authorized warranty representative and follow the
\nprocedures outlined in your owner’s manual or warranty booklet. If the
\nauthorized dealer denies your warranty claim, contact the
\nmanufacturer’s regional or zone office for further assistance. If you
\nare still not satisfied, follow the appeals procedure outlined in your
\nmanual or warranty booklet.<\/p>\n

Of course, you are entitled to pursue any independent legal
\nactions you consider appropriate to obtain coverage under the
\nemissions warranties. In addition, the Environmental Protection
\nAgency (EPA) is authorized to investigate the failure of manufacturers
\nto comply with the terms of these warranties. If you have followed
\nthe manufacturer’s procedures (including those for appeals) for making
\na warranty claim as set out in your owner’s manual or warranty
\nbooklet, have received a written denial and you are not satisfied with
\nthe manufacturer’s determination, you may submit a letter to EPA at
\nthe following address. It should provide details of the situation
\nincluding the basis for the claim, a copy of the written denial,
\ncopies of your letters to the manufacturers, and copies of any
\nreceipts for emission control parts and repairs you have paid for: <\/p>\n

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
\n Vehicle Programs & Compliance Division (6405J)
\n Attn: Warranty Complaints
\n 401 M Street, SW
\n Washington, DC 20460<\/p>\n

Other sources of assistance may be your local or State consumer
\nprotection agency or office of the Attorney General. You also should
\nbe aware that low-cost or free legal assistance may be available
\nthrough a local legal aid office, the State bar association, or a law
\nschool clinic staffed by law students.<\/p>\n

In Summary<\/p>\n

If an emission control or emission related part, or a specified
\nmajor emission control component is defective, or if your vehicle
\nfails an I\/M test, and your vehicle is within the time and mileage
\nlimitations for emissions warranty coverage:<\/p>\n

* Present a warranty claim to an authorized warranty representative.<\/p>\n

If your warranty claim is denied:<\/p>\n

* Ask for the reason for denial, in writing.<\/p>\n

* Follow the appeal procedures in your owner’s manual.<\/p>\n

If you are not satisfied with the manufacturer’s decision:<\/p>\n

* Contact the EPA, which will investigate the denial of a
\n valid emissions warranty complaint.<\/p>\n
