What Replacement Parts Should I Use; Preserve Your Warranty - Aston Martin DB 9 2007 Manual

What Replacement Parts Should I Use?

Aston Martin recommends that you use genuine Aston
Martin replacement parts. However, when you are having
non-warranty work done on your vehicle, you may choose to
use any parts.
If you decide to use non-Aston Martin parts, be sure that they
are equivalent to Aston Martin parts in performance, quality
and durability. If you use replacement parts that are not
equivalent to Aston Martin parts, your vehicle's emissions
control systems may not work as effectively, and you may
jeopardize your emissions warranty coverage.
Federal Warranty Only
The maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions
control devices or systems, the cost of which is not covered
by the warranties, can be performed by any automotive
repair establishment or individual using non-Aston Martin
parts.
For vehicles within the warranty period, Aston Martin will
repair at no cost to the owner, under the Federal Emissions
Warranty, covered emission failures caused by properly
installed Aston Martin parts or non-Aston Martin parts that
have been 'certified' by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA). Aston Martin is not responsible for the cost of
repairing any emission failures caused by non-Aston Martin
parts that have not been 'certified' by the EPA.

Preserve Your Warranty

If you do not maintain your vehicle properly, Aston Martin
may have the right to deny you warranty coverage.
To have repairs made under this warranty, you may have to
show that you have followed Aston Martin's instructions on
properly maintaining and using your vehicle. You will find
these instructions in your Owner's Guide. Be sure to save
your service receipts and to keep accurate records of all
maintenance work.
If you are not satisfied with the handling of a warranty matter,
you may contact Aston Martin Lagonda North America Inc.
(Refer to 'Warranty Communications', page C.2).
