Our Warranty to You
We warrant Saab parts and accessories to be free from manufacturing defects for the term of the warranty. This warranty applies only to genuine Saab parts and accessories sold by Saab Cars USA, Inc. and purchased from an authorized Saab dealer and installed in a Saab. This warranty runs from the date of original retail purchase of each item.
If any part or accessory covered by this warranty is found to have a manufactured defect, any authorized Saab dealer will, at our option, repair, replace (with either new or remanufactured parts) or adjust the part or accessory. The dealer will schedule and complete repairs as promptly and conveniently as possible. There will be no charge for the parts or accessories or for labor (see following note). You must notify the dealer of the defect within the warranty term and bring the vehicle or part to the dealer when scheduled.
Note: If the part or accessory was not originally installed by an authorized Saab dealer, you will be charged for labor if it is repaired, replaced or adjusted under this warranty.
This is your only remedy under this warranty. All other remedies are specifically excluded.
Warranty Period
The Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty period is 1 year/unlimited miles from the date of retail purchase. Some parts may be covered by a specific limited warranty for a different period (e.g., battery). The warranty for those parts is supplied at the time of purchase including a listing of exclusions.
Genuine Saab parts and accessories installed on new vehicles at the time of delivery are covered under the New Car Limited Warranty (4 year/50,000 mile Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage) period or 1 year/unlimited mileage, whichever is longer.
Battery Replacement
Replacement batteries are covered for parts and labor at 100% up to 12 months for defects. After 12 months the battery will be pro-rated for the remaining 48 months, for parts only, at a pro-rated amount based on the type of battery.
