California Emission Control System Warranty - Buick 2005 Lesabre Warranty And Owner Assistance Information

Federal Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and/or local jurisdictions have established
periodic vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M)
programs to encourage proper maintenance of your
vehicle. If an EPA-approved I/M program is enforced in
your area you may also be eligible for Emission
Performance Warranty coverage when all of the
following three conditions are met:
•
The vehicle has been maintained and operated in
accordance with the instructions for proper
maintenance and use set forth in the owner
manual supplied with your vehicle.
•
The vehicle fails an EPA-approved I/M test during
the emission warranty period.
•
The failure results, or will result, in the owner of
the vehicle having to bear a penalty or other
sanctions, including the denial of the right to use
the vehicle, under local, state, or federal law.
GM warrants that your dealer will replace, repair, or
adjust to GM specifications, at no charge to you, any of
the parts listed under the "Emission Warranty Parts
List" later in this section which may be necessary
to conform to the applicable emission standards.
Non-GM parts labeled "Certified to EPA Standards" are
covered by the Federal Emission Performance
Warranty.
California Emission Control System
Warranty
This section outlines the emission warranty that GM
provides for your vehicle in accordance with the
California Air Resources Board. 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.
This warranty applies if your vehicle meets both of
the following requirements:
•
Your vehicle is registered in California or other
states adopting California emission and
warranty regulations*.
•
Your vehicle is certified for sale in California as
indicated on the vehicle's emission control
information label.
Important: * Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont
have California Emissions Warranty coverage. (New
York adopted California emission standards, but not the
California emissions warranty. The Federal Emissions
Control Warranty applies to all vehicles in New York.)
