General Motors of Canada Limited warrants to owners of Medium Duty Trucks and
Chassis sold in Canada, that the engine (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 during the warranty period.
| • | For heavy duty gasoline engines, the warranty period is 5 years
or 80 000 kilometres (whichever first occurs). |
| • | For heavy duty diesel engines, the warranty period is 5 years or
160 000 kilometres (whichever first occurs). |
Emission-related defects in the genuine GM components listed below including
related diagnostic costs, parts, and labour 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.
Emission Performance
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:
- the vehicle has been maintained and operated in accordance with the instructions
for proper maintenance and use set forth in the Owner's Manual, New Vehicle Warranty,
or Maintenance Schedule supplied with your vehicle;
- the vehicle fails a provincial I/M test during the emission warranty period
indicated above; and
- 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, provincial, or federal law.
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 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.
Claims Procedure
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 "Emission 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
