FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY 

1. Introduction 

The Federal Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to provide two emissions related 
warranties:

• The Federal Emissions Performance Warranty, which covers repairs to certain parts of each 

vehicle’s emission control system 

if certain conditions are met 

(see Section 5, for those 

conditions).

• The Federal Emissions Defect Warranty, which covers certain parts of each vehicle’s emissions 

control systems against defects in materials and workmanship, and 

These two emission warranties apply to all Mazda Vehicles (including those registered in  states 
requiring California-certified vehicles). They are given in lieu of all other express or implied 
warranties (except those set forth separately in this booklet) on the part  of  Mazda,  Mazda 
Importer/Distributor or the Mazda Dealer selling this Mazda Vehicle. No dealer, or any 
agent or employee thereof, is authorized to extend or expand these warranties.
