12Other Terms of Your Warranties
Exchanged Parts May Be Used in
Warranty Repairs
In the interest of customer satisfaction,
the vehicle warrantor may offer exchange
service on some vehicle parts. This
service is intended to reduce the amount
of time your vehicle 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 new parts standards and have the
same limited warranties.
Examples of the kinds of parts that might
be serviced in this way are:
• engine assemblies;
• transmission assemblies;
• instrument cluster assemblies;
• radios, tape and CD 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 result, a repair to the sealed
portion of your air conditioning system
may involve the installation of purified
reclaimed refrigerant. Pre-Delivery Service
A defect in or damage to the mechanical,
electrical, sheet-metal, paint, trim, and
other components of your vehicle may
have occurred at the factory or while
it was being shipped to the authorized
Sprinter Dealer.
Such a defect or damage is usually
detected and corrected at the factory.
In addition, authorized Sprinter Dealers
must inspect each vehicle before delivery.
They repair any defects or damage
detected before the vehicle is delivered
to you.
Production Changes
Changes may be made in vehicles sold by
the vehicle distributor and its authorized
Sprinter Dealers at any time without
incurring any obligation to make the same
or similar changes on vehicles previously
built or sold.
