DEFECTS WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or
equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Evaporative Emissions Warranty Coverage.
The equipment must be warranted to the ultimate
purchaser and any subsequent owner that the evapo-
rative emission control system when installed was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform
with all applicable regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship
that cause the failure of a warranted part for a
period of two years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts
will be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance in the
written instructions must be warranted for the
warranty period defined in subsection (b)(2). If
any such part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by
the manufacturer issuing the warranty. Any such
part repaired or replaced under the warranty
must be warranted for a time not less than the
remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for
regular inspection in the written instructions
must be warranted for the warranty period
defined in subsection (b)(2). A statement in such
written instructions to the effect of “repair or
replace as necessary” will not reduce the period
of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or
replaced under warranty must be warranted for a
time not less than the remaining warranty
period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for re-
placement as required maintenance in the
written instructions must be warranted for the
period of time prior to the first scheduled
replacement point for that part. If the part fails
prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part
must be repaired or replaced by the manufa-
cturer issuing the warranty. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty must be
warranted for a time not less than the remainder
of the period prior to the first scheduled replace-
ment point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part
under the warranty provisions of this article
must be performed at no charge to the owner
at a warranty station.
(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection
(4) above, warranty services or repairs must be
provided at distribution centers that are
franchised to service the subject engines or
equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic
labor that leads to the determination that a
warranted part is in fact defective, provided that
such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty
station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control
system’s warranty period set out in subsection
(b)(2), the manufacturer issuing the warranty
must maintain a supply of warranted parts
sufficient to meet the expected demand for
such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must
be used in the performance of any warranty
maintenance or repairs and must be provided
without charge to the owner. Such use will not
reduce the warranty obligations of the manu-
facturer issuing the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will
be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim
made in accordance with this article. The manu-
facturer issuing the warranty will not be liable
under this Article to warrant failures of war-
ranted parts caused by the use of an add-on
or modified part.
(10) The manufacturer issuing the warranty shall
provide any documents that describe the war-
ranty procedures or policies within five working
days of request by the Air Resources Board.
