Limited Warranty Coverage

Coverage applies only to the parts listed and related labor, but not if they are covered by insurance or the manufacturer's warranty. If a covered failure occurs, we will repair or replace the covered part(s), or we will pay an authorized repair facility reasonable and customary charges to do so, not to exceed manufacturer's suggested retail price for covered parts, and specific labor times published in Motor, Chilton, Mitchell or the manufacturer's warranty labor time standards, subject to the deductible and the other provisions of this limited warranty. Reimbursement may be made directly to you for an authorized claim. Replacements will be made with parts of like kind and quality (including new, re-manufactured, exchanged, or serviceable used components or parts at the option of the Administrator).
