Your Rights and Obligations (For Vehicles
Subject to California Exhaust Emission
Standards)
The California Air Resources Board and General Motors
are pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your 2003 vehicle. In California, new motor
vehicles must be designed, equipped, and built to
meet the states' stringent anti-smog standards. GM must
warrant your vehicle's emission control system for the
periods of time and mileage listed provided there
has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance
of your vehicle. Your vehicle's emission control
system may include parts such as the fuel injection
system, ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine
computer. Also included are hoses, belts, connectors
and other emission related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, GM will repair
your vehicle at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
General Motors Warranty Coverage:
•
For 3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever

If your vehicle fails a smog check inspection, GM
will make all necessary repairs and adjustments
to ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection.
This is your vehicle emission control system
Performance Warranty. If any emission related
part on your vehicle is defective, GM will repair
or replace it. This is your short-term emission
Defects Warranty.
•
For 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever
comes first:
If an emission related part listed in this booklet
specially noted with coverage for 7 years or

it. This is you long-term emission control system
Defects Warranty.
•
For 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever
comes first:

Any authorized Buick dealer will, as necessary under
these warranties, replace, repair, or adjust to General
Motors specifications any genuine GM parts that
affect emissions.
The applicable warranty period shall begin on the date
the vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser
or, if the vehicle is first placed in service as a
demonstrator or company vehicle prior to sale at retail,
on the date the vehicle is placed in such service.
