Things You Should Know About Your
Volvo Warranties
Where Volvo Warranties ApplyThe Warranties described in this booklet apply to
new 2022 model year Volvo passenger vehicles.
The vehicle must have been originally sold by Volvo
Car USA, LLC,
1 or Volvo Car Canada Limited1 and
registered and operated in any of the 50 states of
the U.S., the District of Columbia, any territories
or commonwealths of the United States, or any
territories or provinces of Canada. Any remaining
portion of the warranties is fully transferable to
subsequent owners free-of-charge.
Previously Owned VolvosIf you have purchased a previously owned Volvo
and the New Vehicle Warranty has not expired,
you are entitled to the remaining portion of that
warranty. Please refer to the sections “Volvo
Ownership Change Request (U.S. ONLY)” or
“Volvo Owner Information Update Request
(Canada only)” in this booklet for information
on how to provide the changed ownership
information.
Warranty RepairsWarranty repairs which are required as a result
of defects in material or workmanship, and are
brought to the attention of an authorized Volvo
retailer by an owner, will be performed by an
authorized Volvo retailer only at no charge during
the warranty period. To obtain repairs under warranty, contact an
authorized Volvo retailer and explain the condition.
We recommend your selling retail facility as they are
most familiar with your car, its service history, and
your driving habits. Have the maintenance records
section of this booklet and service records available.
Diagnosis and evaluation of the symptoms and
conditions will be made by any authorized Volvo
retailer.
Only repairs/diagnosis deemed by the retailer to
be covered under warranty will be made within a
reasonable period of time during normal business
hours. Parts will be repaired or replaced by an
authorized Volvo retailer only, using genuine
Volvo new or remanufactured parts or software,
at Volvo’s discretion. These are the recommended
parts for your Volvo. They meet the same design
and quality standards as those components
originally installed in your vehicle. All parts replaced
will become the property of Volvo for technical
material analysis or other usage.
Repairs required because of damage, misuse,
abuse, collision, normal wear and tear, incomplete
or improper maintenance are not covered by
the warranties. Also, specific items noted within
each section of the warranties under “What Is

these concerns when you receive your vehicle,
notify your retailer without delay.

and should be carefully reviewed.
LimitationsNo implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of this
warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state or province to province. Some
states/provinces do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitations may not apply to you.

“Limitations and Disclaimers” in this booklet.

describing this program is supplied in your
Owner’s Wallet.
Wear and Tear ItemsAs part of your vehicle’s normal service and
maintenance requirements, certain parts may need
to be replaced due to wear and tear. Since these
parts are consumed at varying rates, replacement
is based on the operation and condition of your
vehicle and on fixed schedules under normal
operation and use of your vehicle. These items
include, but may not be limited to, the following
list: filters, fuses, belts, brake pads, brake rotors,
wiper blades, shock absorbers, floor mats,
upholstery/rugs, etc.
Replacement of these items are the owner’s
responsibility, with the exception of those items
covered during the Adjustments Coverage Period (see the following section), under the terms of the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty Brake Pad Wear
Policy, or where specific manufacturing defects
may be demonstrated.

factory fittings and alignments, and which are
required as part of the break-in period, will be

maintenance services, including Pre-Delivery or
items excluded in the New Vehicle section. The
duration of the adjustment coverage is twelve
(12) months or 12,000 miles/20,000 kilometers,
whichever occurs first.
The term “Adjustments” as used in this warranty
refers to minor repairs not usually associated with
the replacement of parts or normal maintenance
service items. Parts which are covered for
replacement because of wear during the
Adjustments Period only are: brake pads, brake
rotors and shock absorbers. These items may also
be covered under the Basic Warranty Period, or

of labor only repairs which are covered during the
Adjustments Period are wheel balancing, window
regulator adjustment and hood adjustment.
