16 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
Warranty Repairs–
Component Exchanges
In the interest of customer
satisfaction, GM may offer
exchange service on some vehicle
components. This service is
intended to reduce the amount of
time your vehicle is not available for
use due to repairs. Components
used in exchange are service
replacement parts that may be new,
remanufactured, or refurbished.
Remanufactured parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are made from previously used
components in a process that
involves disassembly, inspection,
cleaning, update of software and
replacement of parts as appropriate,
testing and reassembly.
Refurbished parts meet GM
approved service part requirements
and are previously used parts that
are inspected, cleaned, tested, and
repackaged.
All exchange components used
meet GM standards and are
warranted the same as new
components. Examples of the types of components that might be
serviced in this fashion include:
engine and transmission
assemblies, instrument cluster
assemblies, radios, compact disc
players, batteries, and powertrain
control modules.
Warranty Repairs
–Recycled
Materials
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) guidelines and GM support
the capture, purification, and reuse
of automotive air conditioning
refrigerant gases and engine
coolant. As a result, any repairs GM
may make to your vehicle may
involve the installation of purified
reclaimed refrigerant and coolant.
Tire Service
Any authorized Chevrolet or tire
dealer for your brand of tires can
assist you with tire service. If, after
contacting one of these dealers, you
need further assistance or you have
questions, contact the Chevrolet
Customer Assistance Center. The toll-free telephone numbers are

18 Things to Know About the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
vehicle preparation. If you find any
paint or appearance concerns,
advise your dealer as soon as
possible. Your owner manual has
instructions regarding the care of
these items.
Vehicle Operation and Care
Considering the investment you
have made in your Chevrolet, we
know you will want to operate and
maintain it properly. We urge you to
follow the maintenance instructions
in your owner manual.
If you have questions on how to
keep your vehicle in good working
condition, see your Chevrolet
dealer, the place many customers
choose to have their maintenance
work done. You can rely on your
Chevrolet dealer to use the proper
parts and repair practices.
Maintenance and Warranty
Service Records
Retain receipts covering
performance of regular
maintenance. Receipts can be very
important if a question arises as towhether a malfunction is caused by
lack of maintenance or a defect in
material or workmanship.
A
“Maintenance Record” is provided
in the maintenance schedule
section of the owner manual for
recording services performed.
The servicing dealer can provide a
copy of any warranty repairs for
your records.
Chemical Paint Spotting
Some weather and atmospheric
conditions can create a chemical
fallout. Airborne pollutants can fall
upon and adhere to painted
surfaces on your vehicle. This
damage can take two forms:
blotchy, ring-shaped discolorations,
and/or small irregular dark spots
etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the factory
applied paint causes this, Chevrolet
will repair, at no charge to the
owner, the painted surfaces of new
vehicles damaged by this fallout
condition within 12 months or
12,000 miles of purchase, whichever
comes first.
Warranty Coverage –
Extensions
Time Extensions : The New
Vehicle Limited Warranty will be
extended one day for each day
beyond the first 24 hour period in
which your vehicle is at an
authorized dealer facility for
warranty service. You may be asked
to show the repair orders to verify
the period of time the warranty is to
be extended. Your extension rights
may vary depending on state law.
Mileage Extensions : Prior to
delivery, some mileage is put on
your vehicle during testing at the
assembly plant, during shipping,
and while at the dealer facility. The
dealer records this mileage on the
first page of this warranty booklet at
delivery. For eligible vehicles, this
mileage will be added to the
mileage limits of the warranty
ensuring that you receive full benefit
of the coverage. Mileage extension
eligibility:
. Applies only to new vehicles
held exclusively in new vehicle
inventory.
