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 so as to conform at the time of sale to all regulations
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California California Air Re-
sources Board 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
and California emission control regulations. Accordingly, it is recommended that any re-
placement parts used for maintenance, replacement or repair without invalidating this
warranty; the cost of such services or or parts, however, will not be covered under the war-
ranty 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 suck 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.
Repairs and service covered by the warranty will be performed by an authorized Volvo
Trucks North America, Inc. dealer at his place of business with no charge for parts or la-
bor (including diagnosis) using Volvo parts for the emission control system, that requires
replacement and is covered by the warranty and found defective. In case of an emergency,
where an authorized Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. dealer is not available, repairs may
be performed at any available service establishment or by the owner, using any equivalent
replacement parts and Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. will reimburse the owner for such
repairs (including diagnosis) not to exceed Volvo Trucks North America, Inc’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 Volvo Trucks North America, Inc.
dealer for reimbursement.
