GM will provide for repairs to the vehicle during the warranty period in accordance with the following terms, conditions, and limitations.
This warranty is for GM vehicles registered in the United States and normally operated in the United States or Canada, and is provided to the original and any subsequent owners of the vehicle during the warranty period.
The warranty covers repairs to correct any vehicle defect related to materials or workmanship occurring during the warranty period. Needed repairs will be performed using new or remanufactured parts.
Warranty repairs, including towing, parts, and labor, will be made at no charge.
To obtain warranty repairs, take the vehicle to a Cadillac dealer facility within the warranty period and request the needed repairs. A reasonable time must be allowed for the dealer to perform necessary repairs.
The warranty period for all coverages begins on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put in use and ends at the expiration of the coverage period.
The complete vehicle is covered for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, except for other coverages listed here under "What Is Covered" and those items listed under "What Is Not Covered" later in this section.
The tires supplied with your vehicle are covered against defects in material or workmanship under the Bumper-to-Bumper coverage. Any tire replaced will continue to be warranted for the remaining portion of the Bumper-to-Bumper coverage period.
Following expiration of the Bumper-to-Bumper coverage, tires may continue to be covered under the tire manufacturer's warranty. Review the tire manufacturer's warranty booklet or consult the tire manufacturer distributor for specific details.
All GM accessories sold by GM and parts that are permanently installed on a GM vehicle prior to delivery will be covered under the provisions of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. In the event GM accessories are installed after vehicle delivery, or are replaced under the new vehicle warranty, they will be covered, parts and labor, for the balance of the vehicle warranty, but in no event less than 12 months/12,000 miles. This coverage is only effective for GM accessories permanently installed by a GM dealer or an associated GM-approved Accessory Distributor/Installer (ADI).
GM accessories sold over-the-counter, or those not requiring installation, will continue to receive the standard GM Dealer Parts Warranty of 12 months from the date of purchase, parts only.
GM licensed accessories are covered under the accessory-specific manufacturer's warranty and are not warranted by GM or its dealers.

The Cadillac Deville Protection Series is protected by GM's warranty coverage, with the exception of the transparent glass. See Warranty Coverage at a Glance for more information. The transparent armor glass in your vehicle is covered under warranty for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The glass can delaminate due to excessive scratches to the inner polycarbonate surface, extended exposure to sunlight and high heat, or if the windows are deep tinted. In such instances, the glass warranty may be voided. The GM new vehicle limited warranty covers all work performed by the armoring upfitter, so there is no need to deal directly or separately with the upfitter for correction of any problems associated with the armoring or any of its special components during the warranty period.

Owners of trucks with a bedliner, whether after-market or factory installed, should expect that with normal operation the bedliner will move. This movement may cause finish damage and/or squeaks and rattles. Therefore, any damage caused by the bedliner is not covered under the terms of the warranty.
