What Replacement Parts Should I Use; Preserve Your Warranty - Aston Martin DB 9 2010 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).
