Emission Control Systems Warranties

This section outlines the emission warranties that
General Motors provides for your vehicle in accordance
with the U.S. Federal Clean Air Act. Defects in
material or workmanship in GM emission parts may also
be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Bumper-to Bumper coverage. There may be additional
coverage on GM diesel engine vehicles. In any case,
the warranty with the broadest coverage applies.

What is Covered

The parts covered under the emission warranty are listed
under "Emission Warranty Parts List" later in this section.

1. Federal Emission Control Warranty

Both the Emission Defect Warranty and the Emission
Performance Warranty described next begin on the date
the vehicle is first delivered or put into use and continues
for a period of 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes
first. If a catalytic converter or vehicle (powertrain) control
module is found to be defective under either of these
warranties, those parts are warranted for 8 years or
80,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Emission Defect Warranty
General Motors Corporation warrants to the owner that
the vehicle:
•
was designed, equipped, and built so as to
conform at the time of sale with applicable
regulations of the Federal Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), and
•
is free from defects in materials and workmanship
which cause the vehicle to fail to conform with
those regulations during the emission warranty
period.
Emission related defects in the genuine GM parts listed
under Emission Parts Covered, including related
diagnostic costs, parts and labor are covered by this
warranty.
