What Replacement Parts Should I Use; Preserve Your Warranty - Aston Martin DB9 2009 Owner's 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).
