SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
This support is an important advantage to you,
the Volvo owner, as systems become more
sophisticated and intricate.
Servicing your Volvo should be done at your
convenience. Therefore, plan to make your
appointments ahead of time so that your retailer
can schedule the right personnel and equipment to
be available for the work your Volvo requires.
Should you have any questions concerning service,
parts, or warranty coverage, your Volvo retailer
will be happy to answer them for you. Should
you require additional information, they can
further assist you by contacting Volvo’s Regional
personnel for clarification.
Remember – you should always exercise your
right to:
• Receive an estimate of costs before any repair
work is performed;
• Receive prior notification of any additional
repairs;
• Receive a copy of the repair order, including
those for warranty repairs;
• Review repairs completed under warranty.
ServicingItems you should check at regular maintenance
intervals and periodically when refueling:
• Engine oil level
• Coolant level
• Washer fluid
• Tire inflation pressure
• Brake system fluid levels
• Exterior lights (headlights, turn-signals, etc.)

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.
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.
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.
Any loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle
use or commercial loss.
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
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 2021
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.
