Limited Applicability As a certifying manufacturer, BRP may deny emission-related warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner’s or operator’s improper main- tenance or use, by accidents for which the manufacturer has no responsibility, or by acts of God. For example, an emission-related warranty claim need not be honored for failures that have been directly caused by the operator’s abuse of the engine/equipment or the operator’s use of the engine/equipment in a manner for which it was not designed and are not attributable to the manufacturer in any way.
