The Design and Defect Warranty covers repair of emission related parts which become defective
during the warranty period. The Design and Defect warranty for model year 1995 and newer
light-duty cars and trucks is outlined below.
Design and Defect Warranty Coverage for 1995 and newer light-duty vehicles:

miles of vehicle use (whichever first occurs).
According to federal law, an emission control or emission related part, or a specified major

be repaired or replaced by the vehicle manufacturer free of charge as long as the vehicle has not
exceeded the warranty time or mileage limitations for the failed part.

80,000 miles of vehicle use (whichever first occurs) on 1995 and newer vehicles:
