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 2022
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.
Inspection Program
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine,
Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey,
New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Washington
The following provisions apply to vehicles
which fail to pass the California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland,
New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington Smog
Inspection. Should your vehicle fail a smog check
test during the warranty period, you may choose
to have the vehicle repaired at any authorized
Volvo retailer. The authorized Volvo retailer will
make the necessary repairs within the three (3)
year/50,000-mile period so that the vehicle will
pass the inspection. After three (3) years/50,000
miles, but before a period of use of seven (7)
years/70,000 miles, the authorized Volvo dealer
will repair or replace only those parts listed in the
article “2022 Model Year Emission Parts List”
in this booklet. After seven (7) years/70,000
miles, but before a period of use of eight (8)
years/80,000 miles, the authorized Volvo
retailer will cover only the catalytic converter,
engine control module, electronic rear axle drive
(ERAD) and onboard diagnostic device. TZEV
vehicles identified in the article “Volvo’s 2022
New Vehicle Warranties” in this booklet have
all emission components except for the hybrid
battery covered for a period of fifteen (15) years
or 150,000 miles. Volvo will pay for the repair
unless the failure was caused by abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance, or the use of leaded

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.
What Is Not Warranted (applies to all
models)
1. Required maintenance services as specified 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 Emission Warranty.
2. Malfunctions in any part caused by misuse,
improper adjustments (by other than a
Volvo dealer during warranty repair work),
modification, alteration, tampering or
disconnection of system parts.
3. Damage resulting from accidents, acts of
nature, or 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 or in the
articles “Fuel requirements” and “Engine oil”
in this booklet, may not be warranted. 5.
Repairs on vehicles for which the true
odometer mileage cannot be readily
determined.
6. Parts other than genuine Volvo replacement or
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.
