This warranty begins on the date of first retail
sale, or the date the SAV is first placed in service
as a demonstrator or company vehicle, whichever
is earlier. This warranty continues for a period of
2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever occurs first,
except for specific emissions control compo-
nents (as listed on page 35), for which the war-
ranty period is 8 years or 80,000 miles whichever
occurs first.
This warranty is made subject to the terms and
conditions that apply to the Emission Control
System Warranty and the New SAV Limited
Warranty.
No claim under this warranty will be denied on
the basis of use of a properly installed EPA certi-
fied emission part for maintenance and repair.
A SAV manufacturer may deny an emission per-
formance warranty claim on the basis of an
uncertified replacement part used in the mainte-
nance or repair of an SAV only if the SAV manu-
facturer presents evidence that the uncertified
replacement part is either defective in materials
or workmanship or not equivalent from an emis-
sion standpoint to the original equipment part.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emis-
sion control devices and systems may be per-
formed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual using any certi-
fied part.
Immediately after the SAV has failed an EPA
approved emission short test, your claim can be
made at any authorized BMW SAV center. The
authorized BMW SAV center will honor or deny
your claim within the time period specified by
local or state laws (not to exceed 30 days), to
avoid further penalties or sanctions. lf the claim is
denied, the authorized BMW SAV center will
notify you in writing of the reason(s). The autho-
rized BMW SAV center is required by law to
honor the claim if notice of denial is not received
by the owner within the specified time period.
