(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a
warranted part for a period of two years.
(c) The warranty on evaporative emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows:
(1) Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required
maintenance in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty period
defined in subsection (b)(2). If any such part fails during the period of warranty
coverage, it must be repaired or replaced by Troy-Bilt. Any such part repaired or
replaced under the warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the
remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written
instructions must be warranted for the warranty period defined in subsection
(b)(2). A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace
as necessary” will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part
repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time not less than
the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in
the written instructions must be warranted for the period of time prior to the first
scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first
scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or replaced by the Troy-Bilt.
Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for a time
not less than the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement
point for the part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this
article must be performed at no charge to the owner at a warranty station.
(5) Not withstanding the provisions of subsection (4) above, warranty services or
repairs must be provided at distribution centers that are franchised to service the
subject engines or equipment.
(6) The owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor that leads to the
determination that a warranted part is in fact defective, provided that such
diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control system’s warranty period set out in
subsection (b)(2), Troy-Bilt must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to
meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in the performance of
any warranty maintenance or repairs and must be provided without charge to the
owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of the manufacturer
issuing the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a
warranty claim made in accordance with this article. The manufacturer issuing the
warranty will not be liable under this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts
caused by the use of an add-on or modified part.
(10) Troy-Bilt shall provide any documents that describe the warranty procedures or
policies within five working days of request by the Air Resources Board.
