CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD EXPLANATION OF
YOUR CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS: The California Air
Resources Board is pleased to explain the emission control system
warranty on your 2001 model year and later outboard engine. In California,
new outboard engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the
State's stringent anti‑smog standards. Mercury Marine must warrant the
emission control system on your outboard engine for the periods of time
listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your outboard engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or
fuel injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also
included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission‑related
assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Mercury Marine will repair your
outboard engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE: Select emission control
parts from model year 2001 and later outboard engines are warranted for
4 years, or for 250 hours of use, whichever occurs first. However, warranty
coverage based on the hourly period is only permitted for outboard engines
and personal watercraft equipped with appropriate hour meters or their
equivalent. If any emission related part on your engine is defective under
warranty, the part will be repaired or replaced by Mercury Marine.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES: As the outboard engine
owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in the Maintenance section. Mercury Marine
recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your
outboard engine, but Mercury Marine cannot deny warranty solely for the
lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
As the outboard engine owner, you should however be aware that Mercury
Marine may deny you warranty coverage if your outboard engine or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your outboard to a Mercury dealer
authorized to service the product as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30
days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and
responsibilities, you should contact Mercury Marine at 1‑920‑929‑5040.
