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.
