General Motors Warranty Coverage
The California Air Resources Board and General Motors are pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your 2003 vehicle.
General Motors Corporation warrants to the owner that the vehicle was designed,
built, and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with applicable regulations
of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or to the California Air Resources
Board stringent anti-smog standards, and is free from defects in materials and workmanship
which cause the vehicle to fail to conform with those regulations during the warranty
period.
| • | For heavy duty gasoline engines, the warranty period is 5 years
or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
| • | For heavy duty diesel engines, the warranty period is 5 years,
or 100,000 miles, or 3,000 hours of operation, whichever comes first. |
Emission-related defects in the genuine GM components listed below, including
related diagnostic costs, parts, and labor, are covered by this warranty.
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
first placed in such service.
If your vehicle fails a California emissions inspection, and if the emissions
failure is caused by the failure or malfunction of an emissions-warranted part, GM
Truck will correct the part failure or malfunction.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities:
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the scheduled
maintenance listed in your Owner's Manual/Maintenance Schedule. GM recommends that
you retain all maintenance receipts for your vehicle, but GM cannot deny warranty
solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a GM dealer selling your
vehicle line as soon as a problem exists. The warranted repairs should be completed
in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. As the vehicle owner,
you should also be aware that GM may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or
a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper or insufficient maintenance, or
modifications not approved by GM.
If you have any questions regarding your rights and responsibilities under these
warranties, you should contact the GM Medium Duty Truck Customer Assistance Center
