2012 CHRYSLER 300 SRT light

TOWING IS COVERED
If your vehicle has to be towed because a part covered by warranty failed, towing to the nearest
Chrysler Retailer will be covered by the Roadside Assistance Program (for details, see page 9).
Important: Some vehicles have special towing requirements. See your Owner’s Manual for towing
instructions.
3/60 BASIC WARRANTY
If required because of a defect in material or workmanship, the 3/60 Basic Warranty will cover the
adjustment, repair or replacement of any factory-installed part of your vehicle except tires for3 years
or 60,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first. The following items are exceptions; they are only
covered (if defective) for1 year or 20,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first:
•light bulbs and fuses
•wiper blades
•clutch discs
•brakes (rotors, pads, linings and drums)
•windshield and rear window
•wheel alignment and wheel balancing.
Tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers, not by Chrysler. For details, see the tire manufacturer’s
warranty booklet in your glovebox. Your Chrysler Retailer may be able to assist you if you experience
a problem with a factory-installed tire.
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to
follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. You could lose control and have an accident
resulting in serious injury or death.
CORROSION WARRANTY
For 3 years, regardless of distance driven,your Corrosion Warranty covers any body sheet metal
panel which develops a hole caused by corrosion.
In addition, outer body panels are covered against holes caused by corrosion up to5 years or 160,000
kilometres, whichever occurs first. An outer body panel is a sheet metal panel which can be seen while
walking around the vehicle, and which is painted body colour.
This warranty applies only to holes caused by corrosion. Cosmetic or surface corrosion (resulting
from stone chips or scratches in the paint, for example) will not be repaired under this warranty.
If corrosion damage is obviously neglected and allowed to worsen until a hole develops, this warranty
will not cover the repair.
COLLISION DAMAGE
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and needs sheet metal repair or replacement, be sure the
body shop uses only genuine Chrysler parts and applies anti-corrosion materials to the parts repaired
or replaced. Your Corrosion Warranty does not cover replacement parts not supplied by Chrysler, or
any damage which is caused by the use of non-Chrysler replacement parts.
See alsoWhat Is Not Coveredon page 5.
EMISSION WARRANTIES
Chrysler Canada warrants that your new vehicle was designed, built and equipped to conform at the
time of sale with applicable federal and provincial emissions standards, and that the vehicle is at the
time of sale free from defects in material and workmanship which would cause it to fail to conform
to the applicable emission standards within the warranty periods specified. A covered defect is one
which causes your vehicle to fail to meet applicable emission control regulations.
To keep your vehicle operating properly and in conformance with emission regulations, see the
“Scheduled Maintenance” instructions in your Owner’s Manual. Only Chrysler parts should be used
for maintenance and repair of your vehicle’s emission control systems.
You should keep any receipts for maintenance service and pass them on to the next owner of your
vehicle, in case questions arise concerning maintenance. Chrysler Canada has the right to deny
4

warranty coverage if your vehicle has not been properly maintained, or if repairs are needed because
parts other than Chrysler parts were used; however, denial will not be based on the lack of
maintenance records alone.
Warranty service must be performed by an authorized Chrysler Retailer.
If emergency warranty service is required and an authorized retailer is not available, contact Chrysler
Canada Customer Assistance (page 8) and request emission warranty service help.
EMISSION DEFECT WARRANTY
The 3/60 Basic Warranty covers all emission control components for3 years or 60,000 kilometres,
whichever occurs first. The Emission Defect warranty provides longer coverage for specified
components.
The Defect Warranty covers the following major emission control parts, if so equipped, for8 years
or 130,000 kilometres,whichever occurs first:
•catalytic converter
•powertrain control module
EMISSION PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
The Emission Performance Warranty only applies to cars and trucks with a GVW less than 3855 kg
(8500 lb).
For2 years or 40,000 kilometres,whichever occurs first, the Performance Warranty will cover the
cost of repairing or adjusting any components or parts of your vehicle that might be necessary to pass
an approved provincial Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) program’s emissions test, but only if:
•your vehicle failed an approved provincial I/M emissions test; and
•your vehicle was properly maintained and operated until it failed the test; and
•warranty service is required in order for your vehicle to pass the provincial I/M test
Provincial test fees, if any, are not covered by this warranty.
HOW TO GET SERVICE UNDER THIS WARRANTY
If your vehicle fails an approved I/M emissions test within the Emission Performance Warranty
period, take it to an authorized Chrysler Retailer as soon as possible. Give the service representative
the printout that shows your vehicle failed the test. If possible, bring all service receipts, maintenance
logs and records to prove that your vehicle has been properly maintained.
