The emission warranty on your vehicle is issued in accordance with the U.S. Federal Clean Air Act. Defects in material or workmanship in Isuzu emission parts may also be covered under the Medium Duty Truck Limited Warranty coverage. There may be additional coverage on Isuzu diesel engine chassis. In any case, the warranty with the broadest coverage applies.

What Is Covered

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

How to Determine the Applicable Emission Control System Warranty

State and Federal agencies may require a different emission control system warranty for chassis depending on:

    • Whether the vehicle conforms to regulations applicable to light duty or heavy duty emission control systems
    • Whether the vehicle or engine conforms to California regulations in addition to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Federal regulations

All vehicles are eligible for Federal Emissions Control System Warranty Coverage. If the emissions control label contains language stating the vehicle conforms to California regulations, the vehicle is also eligible for California Emissions Control System Warranty Coverage.

Federal Emission Control System Warranty

Federal Warranty Coverage is as follows:

    • Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 8,500 lbs. equipped with a Heavy Duty Gasoline Engine
       - 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
    • Vehicles with a Heavy Duty Diesel Engine
       - 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Federal Emission Defect Warranty

Isuzu warrants to the owner the following:

    • 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)
    • The vehicle is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the chassis to fail to conform with those regulations during the emission warranty period

Emission related defects in the genuine Isuzu parts listed under the Emission Warranty Parts List covered, including related diagnostic costs, parts, and labor are covered by this warranty.

Federal Emission Performance Warranty

Some states and/or local jurisdictions have established periodic Chassis Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper maintenance of the chassis. 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 chassis has been maintained and operated in accordance with the instructions for proper maintenance and use set forth in the owner manual supplied with the chassis.
    • The chassis fails an EPA approved I/M test during the emission warranty period.
    • The failure results, or will result, in the owner of the chassis having to bear a penalty or other sanctions (including the denial of the right to use the chassis) under local, state, or federal law.

Isuzu warrants that your dealer will replace, repair, or adjust to Isuzu 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-Isuzu 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 Isuzu provides for the chassis in accordance with the California Air Resources Board. Defects in material or workmanship in Isuzu emission parts may also be covered under the Medium Duty Limited Warranty coverage. There may be additional coverage on Isuzu diesel engine chassis. In any case, the warranty with the broadest coverage applies.

This warranty applies if the chassis meets both of the following requirements:

    • The chassis is registered in California or other states adopting California emission and warranty regulations*.
    • The chassis conforms to California regulations as indicated on the chassis emission control label.

* Important: Maine, Massachusetts, 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 non-PZEV vehicles in New York.)

Your Rights and Obligations (For Chassis Subject to California Exhaust Emission Standards)

The Emission Control System Warranty on your vehicle is issued in accordance with the California Air Resources Board and Isuzu. In California, new chassis must be designed, equipped, and built to meet the state's stringent anti-smog standards. Isuzu must warrant the chassis emission control system for the periods of time and mileage listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your chassis. The chassis 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, Isuzu will repair the chassis at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor.

California Emission Defect and Emission Performance Warranty Coverage

    • For 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, gasoline vehicles with a GVWR greater than 8,500 lbs:
        For 5 years of 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, diesel vehicles:
       - If your vehicle fails a smog check inspection, Isuzu will make all necessary repairs and adjustments to ensure that your vehicle passes the inspection. This is your Emission Control System Performance Warranty.
       - If any emission related part on your vehicle is defective, Isuzu will repair or replace it. This is your Short-term Emission Defects Warranty.
    • For 7 years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first, gasoline or diesel vehicles with a GVWR of 14,000 lbs. or less:
       - If an emission related part listed in this booklet specially noted with coverage for 7 years or 70,000 miles is defective, Isuzu will repair or replace it. This is your Long-term Emission Control System Defects Warranty.

Any authorized Isuzu dealer will, as necessary under these warranties, replace, repair, or adjust to Isuzu specifications any genuine Isuzu parts that affect emissions.

The applicable warranty period shall begin on the date the chassis is delivered to the first retail purchaser.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities

As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the performance of the scheduled maintenance listed in your owner manual. Isuzu recommends that you retain all maintenance receipts for the chassis, but Isuzu cannot deny warranty coverage solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

You are responsible for presenting your chassis to a Isuzu dealer 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 Isuzu may deny warranty coverage if your chassis or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper or insufficient maintenance, or modifications not approved by Isuzu.

If you have any questions regarding your rights and responsibilities under these warranties, you should contact Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-222-1020 or, in California, write to:

Parts specified in your maintenance schedule that require scheduled replacement are covered up to their first replacement interval or the applicable emission warranty coverage period, whichever comes first. If failure of one of these parts results in failure of another part, both will be covered under the Emission Control System Warranty.

For detailed information concerning specific parts covered by these emission control systems warranties, ask your dealer.

Replacement Parts

The emission control systems of your chassis were designed, built, and tested using genuine Isuzu parts* and the chassis is certified as being in conformity with applicable federal and California emission requirements. Accordingly, it is recommended that any replacement parts used for maintenance or for the repair of emission control systems be new, genuine Isuzu parts.

The warranty obligations are not dependent upon the use of any particular brand of replacement parts. The owner may elect to use non-genuine Isuzu parts for replacement purposes. Use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effectiveness of emission control systems.

If other than new, genuine Isuzu parts are used for maintenance replacements or for the repair of parts affecting emission control, the owner should assure himself/herself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent to genuine Isuzu parts in performance and durability.

* "Genuine Isuzu parts," when used in connection with Isuzu chassis means parts manufactured by or for Isuzu, designed for use on Isuzu chassis, and distributed by any division or subsidiary of Isuzu.

Maintenance and Repairs

Maintenance and repairs can be performed by any qualified service outlet; however, warranty repairs must be performed by an authorized dealer except in an emergency situation when a warranted part or a warranty station is not reasonably available to the chassis owner.

In an emergency, where an authorized dealer is not reasonably available, repairs can be performed at any available service establishment or by the owner, using any replacement part. Isuzu will consider reimbursement for the expense incurred (including diagnosis), not to exceed the manufacturer's suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on Isuzu's recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate labor rate. A part not being available within 10 days or a repair not being completed within 30 days constitutes an emergency. Retain receipts and failed parts in order to receive compensation for warranty repairs reimbursable due to an emergency.

If, in an emergency situation, it is necessary to have repairs performed by other than a Isuzu dealer and you believe the repairs are covered by emission warranties, take the replaced parts and your receipt to a Isuzu dealer for reimbursement consideration. This applies to both the Federal Emission Defect Warranty and Federal Emission Performance Warranty.

Receipts and records covering the performance of regular maintenance or emergency repairs should be retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. These receipts and records should be transferred to each subsequent owner. Isuzu will not deny warranty coverage solely on the absence of maintenance records. However, Isuzu may deny a warranty claim if a failure to perform scheduled maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranty part.

Claims Procedure

As with the other warranties covered in this booklet, take your chassis to any authorized Isuzu dealer facility to obtain service under the emission warranty. This should be done as soon as possible after failing an EPA-approved I/M test or a California smog check test, or at any time you suspect a defect in a part.

Those repairs qualifying under the warranty will be performed by any Isuzu dealer at no charge. Repairs which do not qualify will be charged to you. You will be notified as to whether or not the repair qualifies under the warranty within a reasonable time (not to exceed 30 days after receipt of the chassis by the dealer, or within the time period required by local or state law).

The only exceptions would be if you request or agree to an extension, or if a delay results from events beyond the control of your dealer or Isuzu. If you are not so notified, Isuzu will provide any required repairs at no charge.

In the event a warranty matter is not handled to your satisfaction, refer to the "Customer Satisfaction Procedure" in this booklet under Owner Assistance .
