WARRANTY
Owner’s ObligationsFailure to make corrections of accident damage,
acts of nature, or to maintain the vehicle
properly, including washing and polishing as
described in the Owner’s Manual, voids this
warranty.
It is your responsibility to retain all maintenance
and repair documentation. To avoid potential
deterioration, your retailer must be notified as
soon as possible of any problems with the painted
surfaces.
NOTE
This warranty can be provided because
in manufacturing the vehicle, Volvo used
processes and materials which are designed to
help resist corrosion.
The application of additional rust proofing
products at the time of new car purchase, is not
recommended by Volvo. If non-Volvo products
were chemically incompatible with the Volvo
factory applied protection, they could cause
problems which would result in voiding this
warranty.
If an accident should occur, you must ensure
that the following conditions are met in order to
maintain coverage under the Corrosion Protection
Warranty:
•
repairs are performed to Volvo standards,
•
your Volvo retailer will identify the location of a
Volvo Certified Body and Paint Service Center,
•
only genuine Volvo new replacement parts are
installed,
•
undercoating and/or rust proofing is reapplied
wherever necessary. (See your Volvo retailer
for details on Volvo-approved rust prevention
materials.)

WARRANTYIn the U.S. and Canada
This warranty covers repairs resulting from any
defect in material or workmanship which would
cause the vehicle not to meet emission standards
during the applicable warranty period. Some
components considered part of the emission
system applicable to this warranty are listed in the
article “Emission Warranty Parts List – Federal –
U.S. and Canada” in this booklet.
This emission warranty is not conditionally based
on the use of genuine Volvo parts or service.
However, failures which occur as a result of
abuse or lack of maintenance are not eligible for
coverage.
Warranty Period
The federal emissions design and defect warranty
period is two (2) years or 24,000 miles/ 40,000
kilometers, whichever occurs first. Volvo continues
coverage under new car warranty to four (4) years
or 50,000 miles/80,000 kilometers, whichever
occurs first, except for certain specified major
emissions components for which the coverage
is eight (8) years or 80,000 miles/130,000
kilometers, whichever occurs first. These major
components include only the threeway catalytic
converter (TWC), engine control module and the
onboard diagnostic system (OBD). (Refer to the
2020 Emission Warranty Parts List for specific
components’ coverage.) The warranty begins on
the date the vehicle is sold/delivered to the first
retail purchaser or put into service, whichever
occurs first. Any remaining portion of the warranty
is fully transferable to subsequent owners free-of-
charge.Where the warranty applies
This warranty applies to 2020 model year vehicles
sold by Volvo Car USA, LLC, or Volvo Car Canada
Limited, certified for sale, registered and normally
operated in any 50 states of the U.S., the District
of Columbia, any territories or commonwealths of
the United States, or any territories or provinces
of Canada.
Repairs and Service
The emission control system of your new 2020
model year Volvo passenger vehicle was designed,
built, and tested using genuine Volvo parts.
The car is certified to be in conformity with the
appropriate U.S. Federal or Canadian emission
control regulations at the time of production.
Servicing
It is recommended that any replacement parts
used for maintenance, repair, or replacement of
emission control systems be genuine Volvo parts
or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts.
You may elect to have maintenance, repair, or
replacement of the emission control devices
and systems performed by any automotive
repair establishment or individual. You may
also elect to use parts other than genuine
Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured
parts which have been certified by the part
manufacturer for such maintenance, repair, or
replacement without invalidating this warranty.
The cost of such service or parts, however, will
not be covered under the warranty.Parts
Use of replacement parts which are not equivalent
to Volvo quality may impair the effectiveness of
emission control systems. If other than genuine
Volvo parts or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts
are used for maintenance, repair, or replacement
of components affecting emission control, the
owner must obtain assurances that such parts are
warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent
to genuine Volvo parts in performance and
durability. Volvo assumes no liability under this
warranty for parts other than genuine Volvo parts
or genuine Volvo remanufactured parts. However,
the use of non-Volvo replacement parts does not
invalidate the warranty on other components
unless the non-Volvo parts cause damage to
warranted parts or systems.
41
WARRANTY
Retailer Service
Repairs and service covered by this warranty will
be performed by an authorized Volvo retailer at his
place of business with no charge for parts or labor
(including diagnosis), using genuine Volvo parts or
genuine Volvo remanufactured parts for any part
of the emission control system covered by this
warranty and found defective.
If an emergency occurs and no authorized Volvo
retailer is available, repairs may be performed at
any available service establishment. Volvo will
reimburse the owner for such repairs (including
labor, in most cases) that are covered under this
warranty. Replaced parts and paid invoices must
be presented at a Volvo retail facility as a condition
of reimbursement for emergency repairs not
performed by a Volvo retailer.
We encourage you to have all recommended
maintenance and repairs on your new 2020 Volvo
vehicle completed. Volvo will not deny a warranty
claim solely because you have no record of
maintenance; however, Volvo may deny a warranty
claim if your failure to perform maintenance
resulted in the failure of a warranted part.
Receipts covering the performance of regular
maintenance must be retained for reference and
confirmation purposes.What Is Not Warranted1. Required maintenance services as specified
in the Owner’s Manual and in the article
“Maintenance Service Operations” in this
booklet. Items that affect emissions and
require scheduled replacement are warranted
up to their first replacement point [such as
spark plugs, filters, belts, etc.]. Once these
parts have been replaced at the scheduled
replacement point, they are no longer covered
by this Emissions Warranty. The replaced
parts are covered by the two (2) year spare
parts warranty.
2. Malfunctions in any part caused by any of
the following: misuse, improper adjustments,
modification, alteration, tampering,
disconnection of system parts, and improper,
inadequate or non-maintenance.

do not meet the Volvo-approved standards
as set forth in the Owner’s Manual, Volvo
Service Literature or in the articles “Fuel
requirements” and “Engine oil” in this booklet,
which results in the failure of a warranted part
or system, may not be warranted.
5. Repairs on vehicles for which the true
odometer mileage cannot be readily
determined.
6. The cost incurred from the use of parts other
than genuine Volvo replacement parts or
genuine Volvo remanufactured parts used for
maintenance, repair or replacement affecting
components of the emission control system.7. Any loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle
use or commercial loss.
Emission Performance Warranty–U.S.
and CanadaThe warranty begins on the date the vehicle is
sold/delivered to the first retail purchaser or put
into service, whichever occurs first.
In accordance with Section 207(B) of the Clean
Air Act, Canadian MDU and Canadian Provincial
Warranty Regulations, Volvo warrants to the first
vehicle purchaser and each subsequent purchaser,
that if
1. the vehicle is maintained and operated in
accordance with the written instructions for
proper maintenance and use (Refer to the
Owner’s Manual under the section titled
“Service and Routine Maintenance” and
the article “2020 Service and Maintenance
Requirements” in this booklet), and
2. the vehicle fails to conform at any time during
the first 24,000 miles/40,000 kilometers
or two (2) years (whichever occurs first) to
the applicable emission standards as judged
by an EPA approved or Canadian Provincial
approved emission short test, and
3. such non-conformity will result in the vehicle

sanction (including denial of the right to use
the vehicle) under local, state, federal or
provincial law, then Volvo shall remedy the
nonconformity at no cost to the owner.

the engine, to assure that all emission-related
components have been properly installed;
and
3. The retailer’s performance of all emission

the date or mileage at the time of delivery
of the vehicle to the ultimate purchaser, and
the vehicle has been maintained and used in
accordance with the written instructions for
proper maintenance and use, then Volvo shall
remedy the nonconformity under the Emission

WARRANTY
If an emergency occurs and an authorized Volvo
retailer is not reasonably available, repairs may be
performed at any available service establishment
or by any individual, using any replacement part.
When a warranted part is not available within
thirty (30) days or the repair cannot be completed
within thirty (30) days, repairs may be performed
at any available service establishment or by any
individual, using any replacement part.
Volvo will reimburse the owner for emergency
repairs (including diagnosis) that are covered
under this warranty. The expenses, however,
cannot exceed our suggested retail price for all
warranted parts replaced and labor charges,
based on Volvo’s recommended time allowance
for the warranty repair and the geographically
appropriate hourly labor rate. Replaced parts and
paid invoices must be presented at a Volvo retailer
as a condition of reimbursement for emergency
repairs not performed by a Volvo retailer.
Failure to notify the owner of a decision to
honor or deny a Performance Warranty Claim
within thirty (30) days from the time the vehicle
is initially presented for repair shall result in
the vehicle manufacturer being responsible for
repairing the vehicle without charge to the vehicle
owner, unless such failure is attributable to the
vehicle owner or to events beyond the control of
the vehicle manufacturer or the repair facility.You are advised to have all recommended
maintenance or repairs on your new 2020
Volvo vehicle performed. Volvo will not deny
a warranty claim solely because you have no
record of maintenance; however, we may deny a
warranty claim if your failure to perform required
maintenance resulted in the failure of a warranted
part.
Receipts and/or maintenance records covering
the performance of regular maintenance should,
therefore, be retained in the event questions arise
concerning maintenance.
