Warranty

Federal Emission Performance 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 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
manual 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.
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 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.
California Emission Control System
Warranty
This section outlines the emission warranty that GM
provides for your vehicle in accordance with the California
Air Resources Board. Defects in material or workmanship
in GM emission parts may also be covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty Bumper-to-Bumper
coverage. There may be additional coverage on GM
diesel engine vehicles. In any case, the warranty with
the broadest coverage applies.
This warranty applies if your vehicle meets both of the
following requirements:
• Your vehicle is registered in California or other
states adopting California emission and
warranty regulations*.
• Your vehicle is certified for sale in California
as indicated on the vehicle’s emission control
information label.
Important: * Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont
have California Emissions Warranty coverage. (New
York adopted California emission standards, but not the
California emissions warranty. The Federal Emissions
Control Warranty applies to all vehicles in New York.)
