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 2021 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.

the following: misuse, improper adjustments,
modification, alteration, tampering,
disconnection of system parts, and improper,
inadequate or non-maintenance.
3. Damage resulting from accidents, acts of
nature, and events beyond the control of
Volvo.
4. The use of fuel and/or oil, or other fluids which
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.

Emission Performance Warranty–U.S.
and Canada
The 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 “2021 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
owner having to bear any penalty or other
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.

WARRANTY
fuel or fuels not recommended in your Owner’s
Manual or this booklet. If the failure is covered
under this warranty, Volvo shall be liable for
diagnostic and repair expenses. If the failure is
caused by a combination of warrantable and
nonwarrantable conditions, the owner shall not be
liable for the portion of diagnostic and repair costs
relating to the warrantable condition. If the failure
is caused by a nonwarrantable condition, the
vehicle owner shall be liable for all diagnostic and
repair expenses, but not to exceed the maximum
permissible under the inspection program. The
owner may choose to have the vehicle repaired at
a facility other than a Volvo retailer; however, if a
warrantable condition is found, the owner must
bring the vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer to
have the repairs completed at no cost for parts,
labor, and diagnosis. Volvo will not reimburse
the owner for diagnostic costs incurred at the
unauthorized service facility except in the case of
an emergency.
