EMISSIONS WARRANTY APPLICATIONS

THE EMISSIONS SYSTEMS AND PARTS COVERED BY THE FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTIES ARE PRINTED IN WARRANTY BOOKS AND THE GM SERVICE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL. BECAUSE OF COMPLEXITY AND DIFFERENCES IN THE PARTS COVERED BY THE TWO EMISSIONS WARRANTIES, NOT ALL EMISSION WARRANTED PARTS HAVE BEEN PRINTED UNDER THE SYSTEMS HEADINGS IN THE OWNER WARRANTY BOOKS. THE COMPLETE EMISSIONS WARRANTED PARTS LISTING IS PUBLISHED IN ARTICLE 1.2 OF THE GM SERVICE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL (SEE LIST).

ANYTIME THERE IS A QUESTION CONCERNING EMISSIONS WARRANTY APPLICATION, DEALER/RETAILER PERSONNEL ARE TO REFER TO THE EMISSIONS WARRANTED PART LIST IN THE GM SERVICE POLICIES & PROCEDURES MANUAL FOR THE MODEL YEAR OF THE VEHICLE INVOLVED. AFTER REVIEW OF THE GM SERVICE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL, IF THERE IS STILL A QUESTION, CONTACT YOUR APPROPRIATE DIVISIONAL PERSONNEL FOR CLARIFICATION.

DIFFERENCES IN THE EMISSIONS WARRANTED PARTS UNDER FEDERAL AND CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED. FUTURE EDITIONS OF WARRANTY AND OWNER ASSISTANCE INFORMATION BOOKS WILL BE REVISED TO REFLECT THE COMPLETE EMISSIONS WARRANTED PARTS LIST.
