Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty 13
Warranty Repairs–
Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, GM may offer
exchange service on some vehicle
components. This service is
intended to reduce the amount of
time your vehicle is not available for
use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are service
replacement parts which may be
new, remanufactured, reconditioned,
or repaired, depending on the
component involved.
All exchange components used
meet GM standards and are
warranted the same as new
components. Examples of the types
of components that might be
serviced in this fashion include:
engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
assemblies, radios, compact disc
players, tape players, batteries, and
powertrain control modules.

may make to your vehicle may

reclaimed refrigerant and coolant.
Tire Service
Any authorized Buick or tire dealer
for your brand of tires can assist you
with tire service. If, after contacting
one of these dealers, you need
further assistance or you have
questions, contact Buick Customer

telephone numbers are listed under
Customer Assistance Offices on
page 34.

neither necessary nor required
under the Sheet Metal Coverage.
GM makes no recommendations
concerning the usefulness or value
of such products.
Application of after-manufacture
rustproofing products may create an

vehicle. Repairs to correct damage
caused by such applications are not
covered under your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
