Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories
Genuine Toyota Parts
To safeguard the quality, reliability and value of your vehicle, Toyota recommends
using only Genuine Toyota Parts for maintenance and repairs. Like all Toyota
products, Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the highest standards of quality and
performance. They are also designed to fit your vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains
an extensive inventory of Genuine
Toyota Parts to meet your vehicle
service needs. And because it
is linked electronically to Toyota’s
Parts Distribution Centers, the
dealership has quick access to any
parts it may not have in stock.
When installed by a Toyota dealership, Genuine Toyota Parts (with the exception
of batteries) are warranted for 12 months from date of installation, regardless
of mileage, or the remainder of any applicable New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
whichever provides greater coverage. Selected Toyota replacement parts are covered
by a lifetime warranty (see page 25). NonGenuine Toyota Parts — and any damage
or failures resulting from their use — are not covered by any Toyota warranty.
Genuine Toyota Remanufactured Parts
Toyota also offers the highest level of quality, fit and performance in selected
remanufactured parts. These parts enable you to economically maintain and
repair your vehicle with Genuine Toyota quality. They also feature the same
warranty coverage as new Genuine Toyota Parts. Available parts range from
alternators to water pumps; ask your Toyota dealership for a complete list
of remanufactured product offerings.
For all your maintenance and repair needs, insist on the quality and peace
of mind you only get with Genuine Toyota Parts.
