Warranty

Claims Procedure
As with the other warranties covered in this
booklet, take your vehicle to any authorized
Buick dealer facility to obtain service under the
emission warranty. This should be done as soon
as possible after failing an EPA-approved I/M
test or a California smog check test, or at any time
you suspect a defect in a part.
Those repairs qualifying under the warranty will be
performed by any Buick dealer at no charge.
Repairs which do not qualify will be charged to
you. You will be notified as to whether or not
the repair qualifies under the warranty within a
reasonable time, not to exceed 30 days after
receipt of the vehicle by the dealer, or within
the time period required by local or state law.
The only exceptions would be if you request
or agree to an extension, or if a delay results
from events beyond the control of your dealer or
GM. If you are not so notified, GM will provide any
required repairs at no charge.
In the event a warranty matter is not handled
to your satisfaction, refer to the “Customer
Satisfaction Procedure” under Owner Assistance
on page 33.
