20 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Also, the warranty does not cover a
rebuilt vehicle after it has suffered
such extensive collision damage in
an accident that it was written-off or
deemed to be written-off, even if the
rebuilt vehicle uses undamaged
parts and components from the
written-off vehicle.
Additionally, General Motors does
not warranty non-GM parts,
calibrations and/or software
modifications.The use of parts,
control module calibrations,
software modifications, and/or any
other alterations not issued through
General Motors will void the
warranty coverage for those
components that are damaged or
otherwise affected by the installation
of the non-GM part, control module
calibration, software modification,
and/or other alteration.
The only exception is that non-GM
parts labeled“Certified to EPA
Standards”are covered by the
Federal Emissions Performance
Warranty.Recreation Vehicle and Special
Body or Equipment Alterations
Installations, or alterations to the
original equipment vehicle (or
chassis), as manufactured and
assembled by General Motors, are
not covered by this warranty. The
body company (assembler) is solely
responsible for warranties on the
body or equipment and any
alterations to any of the parts,
components, systems,
or assemblies installed by GM.
Examples include, but are not
limited to, special body installation
or conversion (such as recreational
vehicles), the installation of a
non-GM part, cutting, welding, or the
disconnecting of original equipment
vehicle or chassis parts and
components, extension of
wheelbase, suspension and
driveline modifications, and axle
additions.
Pre-Delivery Service
Defects in or damage to the
mechanical, electrical, sheet metal,
paint, trim, and other components of
your vehicle may occur at the
factory or while it is being
transported to the dealership.
Normally, any defect or damage
occurring during assembly is
detected and corrected at the
factory during the inspection
process. In addition, dealerships are
obligated to inspect each vehicle
before delivery. They repair any
uncorrected factory defects and any
transit damage detected before the
vehicle is delivered to you.
Any defects still present at the time
the vehicle is delivered to you are
covered by the warranty. If you find
any such defects when you take
delivery, please advise your Cadillac
dealer without delay.

28 Things to Know About the Emission Control Systems Warranty
Replacement Parts
The emission control systems of
your vehicle, were designed, built
and tested using genuine GM parts†
and the vehicle is certified as being
in conformity with the Emission
Regulations under the Canadian
Environmental Protection Act.
Accordingly, it is recommended
that any replacement parts used
for maintenance or for the repair
of emission control systems be
new, genuine GM parts.
The warranty obligations are not
dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement
parts. The owner may elect to use
non-genuine GM parts for
replacement purposes. Use of
replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality may impair
the effectiveness of emission
control systems.
If other than new, genuine GM parts
are used for maintenance
replacements or for the repair of
components affecting emissioncontrol, the owner should assure
himself/herself that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent to genuine General
Motors parts in performance and
durability.
Warranty repairs must be performed
by an authorized General Motors
dealer except in an emergency
situation when a genuine GM part or
an authorized General Motors
dealer is not reasonably available to
the vehicle owner. You are
responsible for presenting your
vehicle to a GM dealer selling your
vehicle line as soon as a problem
exists.
† “GENUINE GM PARTS,”when
used in connection with GM
vehicles means parts manufactured
by or for GM, designed for use on
GM vehicles and distributed by any
division or subsidiary of General
Motors LLC.
Maintenance and Repairs
Warranty repairs must be performed
by an authorized dealer except in a
situation where the vehicle owner is
significantly inconvenienced and a
warranted part or a warranty station
is not reasonably available to the
vehicle owner.
In an emergency, where an
authorized dealer is not reasonably
available, repairs may be performed
at any available service
establishment or by the owner,
using any replacement part. Cadillac
will consider reimbursement for the
expense incurred, including
diagnosis, not to exceed the
manufacturer's suggested retail
price for all warranted parts
replaced and labour charges based
on Cadillac's recommended time
allowance for the warranty repair
and the geographically appropriate
labour rate. A part not being
available within 10 days or a repair
not being completed within 30 days
constitutes an emergency. Retain
