Emission Warranty Parts List
replacement parts which are not of
equivalent quality may impair the
effectiveness of emission control
systems.
If other than new, genuine GM parts
are used for maintenance
replacements or for the repair of
parts affecting emission control, the
owner should assure himself/herself
that such parts are warranted by
their manufacturer to be equivalent
to genuine GM parts in performance
and durability.
*
“
Genuine GM parts,
”
when used in
connection with GM vehicles,
means parts manufactured by or for
GM, designed for use on GM
vehicles, and distributed by any
division or subsidiary of GM.
Maintenance and Repairs
Maintenance and repairs can be
performed by any qualified service
outlet; however, warranty repairs
must be performed by an authorized
dealer except in a situation where
the vehicle owner is significantly
inconvenienced and a warranted
part or a warranty station is not
reasonably available to the vehicle
owner.
In a situation where the vehicle
owner is significantly
inconvenienced, and an authorized
dealer is not reasonably available,
repairs may be performed at any
available service establishment or
by the owner, using any
replacement part. Buick will
consider reimbursement for the
expense incurred, including
diagnosis, not to exceed the
manufacturer's suggested retail
price for all warranted parts
replaced and labor charges based
on Buick's recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair
and the geographically appropriate
labor rate. A part not being available
within 10 days or a repair not being
completed within 30 days
constitutes a significant
inconvenience. Retain receipts and
failed parts in order to receive
compensation for warranty repairs
reimbursable due to these
situations.
If you are in a situation where you
are significantly inconvenienced and
it is necessary to have repairs
performed by other than a Buick
dealer and you believe the repairs
are covered by emission warranties,
take the replaced parts and your
receipt to a Buick dealer for
reimbursement consideration. This
applies to both the Federal
Emission Defect Warranty and
Federal Emission Performance
Warranty.
Receipts and records covering the
performance of regular maintenance
or other repairs (such as those
outlined earlier) should be retained
in the event questions arise
concerning maintenance. These
receipts and records should be
transferred to each subsequent
owner. GM will not deny warranty
coverage solely on the absence of
maintenance records. However, GM
