FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY

5. Emission Performance Warranty

Important Notice

This warranty has been prepared in accordance with certain regulations 
promulgated by the EPA which provide that a remedy will be available under this 
warranty only when a vehicle fails an EPA approved emission short test; usually 
this means when an Owner could be subject to a penalty under state or federal law 
because of such failure. At the date of the printing of this warranty, some states 
did not have vehicle inspection programs for testing vehicles for conformity with 
such short tests and had not enacted laws subjecting vehicle Owners to such 
penalties.
Therefore, it is possible that in some states or local areas no remedy will be 
available under this warranty as a matter of law.

Warranty

Pursuant to Section 207 (b) of the U.S. Clean Air Act, Mazda warrants to each 
Owner that if:
(a) The Mazda Vehicle is maintained and operated in compliance with the 

Written Maintenance Instructions; and

(b) The Mazda Vehicle fails to conform at any time during the term of this 

warranty to the applicable emission standards as judged by an emission test 
approved  by the EPA; and

(d) If such nonconformity results from the failure of an Emission Warranty Part.

Mazda shall remedy the nonconformity at no cost to the Owner in accordance with 
the following:

(c) Such nonconformity results or will result in the Owner having to bear any 

penalty or other sanction (including the denial of the right to use the Mazda 
Vehicle) under local, state or Federal law; and

• During a period of vehicle operation that does not exceed 

96 months* or 

80,000 miles, 

whichever comes first, if the failed Emission Warranty Part is listed 

in the 96 months/80,000 miles Emission Warranty Parts List in Section 7.

• During a period of vehicle operation that does not exceed 

24 months* or 

24,000 miles, 

whichever comes first, if the failed Emission Warranty Part is listed 

in the 24 months/24,000 miles Emission Warranty Parts List in Section 6.

* This warranty period begins on the Date of First Service. “Date of First Service” 

means the first date the Mazda Vehicle is delivered to the first retail purchaser, 
is leased or is placed into service as a company vehicle use (e.g., as a 
demonstrator, rental or fleet vehicle), whichever is earliest.
