WARRANTY
In 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, electronic 
rear axle drive (ERAD) and the onboard diagnostic 
system (OBD). (Refer to the 2021 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 2021 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 2021 
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.
