4. Other Terms of Your
W arranties
4.1 Exchanged Parts May Be Used in W
arranty Repairs
In the interest of customer satisfaction, Chrysler Group
LLC (Chrysler) may offer exchange service on some
vehicle parts. This service is intended to reduce the
amount of time your Abarth is not available for your use
because of repairs. Parts used in exchange service may
be new, remanufactured, reconditioned, or repaired,
depending on the part involved.
All exchange parts that might be used meet Chrysler
standards, and have the same warranties as new parts.
Examples of the kinds of parts that might be serviced
in this way are: 
engine assemblies;
 transmission assemblies;
 instrument cluster assemblies;
 radios, tape, CD and DVD players;
 speedometers; and
 powertrain control modules.
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, the
EPA requires the capture, purification, and reuse of
automotive air-conditioning refrigerant gases. As a re-
sult, a repair to the sealed portion of your air-
conditioning system may involve the installation of
purified reclaimed refrigerant.
