This section outlines the Emission Warranty that GM provides for your vehicle, in accordance with the U.S. Federal Clean Air Act. Defects in material or workmanship in GM emission parts may also be covered by the 3 year/36,000 mile "Bumper-to-Bumper" coverage. There may be additional coverage on GM diesel engine vehicles. In any case, the warranty with the broadest coverage applies.
The parts covered under the Emission Control Systems warranties are listed under "Emission Warranty Parts List" later in this section.
The Emission Control Systems warranties obligations do not apply to conditions resulting from tampering, abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance; or any other items listed under "What is not Covered" in the New Vehicle Warranty. The "Other Terms" presented in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty also apply to the emission related warranties.
State and Federal agencies may require a different emission control system warranty depending on whether the truck has a light or a heavy duty emission control system. Do the following to determine your truck's system:
Both the Emission Defect Warranty and the Emission Performance Warranty described below begin on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put into use and continue as follows:
• | Light Truck equipped with Light Duty Gasoline Engines |
- | 2 years or 24,000 miles and 8 years or 80,000 miles for the catalytic converter, the vehicle/powertrain control module, transmission control module, or other onboard emissions diagnostic device, including emission-related software, whichever comes first. |
• | Light Duty Truck equipped with Heavy Duty Gasoline Engine |
- | 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
• | Light Duty Truck equipped with Heavy Duty Diesel Engine |
- | 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. |
GM warrants to the owner the following:
• | The vehicle was designed, built, and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with the applicable regulations of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). |
• | The vehicle is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the vehicle to fail to conform with those regulations during the emission warranty period. |
Emission related defects in the genuine GM parts listed under the Emission Warranty Parts List, including related diagnostic costs, parts and labor are covered by this warranty.
Some states and/or local jurisdictions have established periodic vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper maintenance of your vehicle. 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 conditions are met:
• | The vehicle has been maintained and operated in accordance with the instructions for proper maintenance and use set forth in the Owner Manual and the Warranty and Maintenance Schedule booklets supplied with your vehicle. |
• | The vehicle fails an EPA-approved I/M test during the emission warranty period. |
• | The failure results, or will result, in the owner of the vehicle having to bear a penalty or other sanctions, including the denial of the right to use the vehicle, under local, state, or federal law. |
If all of these conditions are met, GM warrants that your dealer will replace, repair, or adjust to GM specifications, at no charge to you, any of the parts listed under the "Emission Warranty Parts List" later in this section, or parts thereof, which may be necessary to cause your vehicle to conform to the applicable emission standards. Non-GM parts labeled "Certified to EPA Standards" are also covered by this warranty.
The parts that may affect your vehicle's emissions are on the following pages. These emission parts are covered under emission warranties as follows.

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.
General Motors of Canada Limited warrants to owners of chassis sold in Canada, that the vehicle (1) was designed, built and equipped so as to conform at the time of sale with the Emission Regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and (2) is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the vehicle to fail to conform with those regulations for a period of the coverage outlined below.
Federal or provincial agencies may require different emission control system warranties for chassis depending on whether the chassis is certified with a light duty or heavy duty emission control system.
Do the following to determine emission eligibility
The Emission Control Systems Warranty period described below shall begin on the date the vehicle is first delivered to the first retail purchaser or, on the date the vehicle is first placed in service as a demonstrator or company vehicle prior to sale at retail. Emission related defects in the genuine GM components including related diagnostic costs, parts and labour, are covered by this warranty.
• | 5 years or 80 000 kilometres, whichever comes first, with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 3,856 kg (8,500 lbs.). |
• | 5 years or 80 000 kilometres, whichever comes first, with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 3,856 kg (8,500 lbs.). |
Some provinces and local jurisdictions have established periodic vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper maintenance of your vehicle. If a provincial I/M program is enforced in your area you may also be eligible for Emission Performance coverage when all of the following three conditions are met:
General Motors of Canada Limited warrants that your dealer will replace, repair, or adjust to GM specifications, at no charge to you, any of the parts listed under the "Emission Control Systems Warranty Parts List" later in this section which may be necessary to conform to the applicable emission standards. Non-GM parts labeled "Certified to EPA Standards" are covered by the Federal Emission Performance Warranty.
Make your vehicle available to any authorized GM dealer as soon as possible after failing a provincial I/M test or at any time you suspect a defect in a part. If all the above conditions are met, GM warrants that your dealer will replace, repair, or adjust to GM specifications, at no charge to you, any of the parts listed under "Emissions Control Systems Warranty Parts List" which may be necessary to cause your vehicle to conform to the applicable emission standards.
Repairs which do not qualify will be charged to you.
In the event a warranty matter is not handled to your satisfaction, refer to "Customer Satisfaction Procedure" in this booklet under Owner Assistance.
Listed below are most of the systems that affect emissions of your vehicle. Emission control components of these systems are covered by the Emission Control Systems Warranty as applicable. Items that require scheduled replacement as scheduled maintenance are covered by the Emission Control Systems Warranty, or up to the replacement interval specified in your Owner's Manual.
If failure of one of the above parts results in failure of another part under the Emission Control Systems Warranty, both will be covered by this warranty. For detailed information concerning specific parts covered by the Emission Control Systems Warranty, ask your dealer.
