CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board (and evaporative system builder's name, optional) is pleased to explain the evaporative emissions control system's warranty on your (model year) (SIMW type). In California, new SIMW must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. (evaporative system builder's name) must warrant the evaporative emissions control system on your (SIMW type) for the period listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your SIMW.

Your evaporative emissions control system may include parts such as: canisters, carburetors, clamps, connectors, filters, fuel caps, fuel lines, fuel tanks, valves, vapor hoses, and other associated evaporative emissions control system components.

MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This evaporative emissions control system is warranted for two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your SIMW is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by (evaporative system builder's name).

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the (SIMW type) owner, you are responsible for performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. (evaporative system builder's name) recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your (SIMW type), but (evaporative system builder's name) cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.

As the (SIMW type) owner, you should however be aware that the (evaporative system builder's name) may deny you warranty coverage if your (SIMW type) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your (SIMW type) to a (evaporative system builder's name) distribution center or service center as soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 calendar days. If you have a question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact (insert chosen evaporative system builder's contact) at 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX.

(b) A combined exhaust and evaporative warranty statement is acceptable. For combined warranty statements, "evaporative emission" can be replaced with "emissions" where "emissions" is understood to mean both exhaust and evaporative emissions.
