tow CHRYSLER 300 SRT 2012 2.G Warranty Booklet

TOWING IS COVERED
If your vehicle has to be towed because a part covered by warranty failed, towing to the nearest
Chrysler Retailer will be covered by the Roadside Assistance Program (for details, see page 9).
Important: Some vehicles have special towing requirements. See your Owner’s Manual for towing
instructions.
3/60 BASIC WARRANTY
If required because of a defect in material or workmanship, the 3/60 Basic Warranty will cover the
adjustment, repair or replacement of any factory-installed part of your vehicle except tires for3 years
or 60,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first. The following items are exceptions; they are only
covered (if defective) for1 year or 20,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first:
•light bulbs and fuses
•wiper blades
•clutch discs
•brakes (rotors, pads, linings and drums)
•windshield and rear window
•wheel alignment and wheel balancing.
Tires are warranted by the tire manufacturers, not by Chrysler. For details, see the tire manufacturer’s
warranty booklet in your glovebox. Your Chrysler Retailer may be able to assist you if you experience
a problem with a factory-installed tire.
Tires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to
follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. You could lose control and have an accident
resulting in serious injury or death.
CORROSION WARRANTY
For 3 years, regardless of distance driven,your Corrosion Warranty covers any body sheet metal
panel which develops a hole caused by corrosion.
In addition, outer body panels are covered against holes caused by corrosion up to5 years or 160,000
kilometres, whichever occurs first. An outer body panel is a sheet metal panel which can be seen while
walking around the vehicle, and which is painted body colour.
This warranty applies only to holes caused by corrosion. Cosmetic or surface corrosion (resulting
from stone chips or scratches in the paint, for example) will not be repaired under this warranty.
If corrosion damage is obviously neglected and allowed to worsen until a hole develops, this warranty
will not cover the repair.
COLLISION DAMAGE
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and needs sheet metal repair or replacement, be sure the
body shop uses only genuine Chrysler parts and applies anti-corrosion materials to the parts repaired
or replaced. Your Corrosion Warranty does not cover replacement parts not supplied by Chrysler, or
any damage which is caused by the use of non-Chrysler replacement parts.
See alsoWhat Is Not Coveredon page 5.
EMISSION WARRANTIES
Chrysler Canada warrants that your new vehicle was designed, built and equipped to conform at the
time of sale with applicable federal and provincial emissions standards, and that the vehicle is at the
time of sale free from defects in material and workmanship which would cause it to fail to conform
to the applicable emission standards within the warranty periods specified. A covered defect is one
which causes your vehicle to fail to meet applicable emission control regulations.
To keep your vehicle operating properly and in conformance with emission regulations, see the
“Scheduled Maintenance” instructions in your Owner’s Manual. Only Chrysler parts should be used
for maintenance and repair of your vehicle’s emission control systems.
You should keep any receipts for maintenance service and pass them on to the next owner of your
vehicle, in case questions arise concerning maintenance. Chrysler Canada has the right to deny

ARBITRATION
If you are still not satisfied after following the three steps on the previous page, you have yet another
option.
Chrysler Canada participates in an arbitration program administered by the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Arbitration Plan (CAMVAP). CAMVAP will advise you about how your complaint may be reviewed
and resolved by an independent third party through binding arbitration.
Our goal and that of our retailers is your complete satisfaction. Chrysler Canada’s participation in
CAMVAP makes a valuable contribution to our achievement of that goal. There is no charge for using
CAMVAP. CAMVAP results are fast, fair and final, as the award is binding on both you and Chrysler
Canada.
CAMVAP has been implemented in all provinces and territories. For more information, you can call
CAMVAP directly or call our Customer Assistance Centre. Please provide your Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN).

of breakdown).

to be undamaged, and the tow facility has access, it will be winched to the nearest road surface. If your
vehicle is unable to proceed under its own power and a tow is required once the winch is performed,

the cost of replacing keys.)

your location, where regulations permit. In all other cases, including alternate fuels, your vehicle will

ABOUT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
The Chrysler Canada Roadside Assistance Program is not a warranty, but the coverage is concurrent
with the Basic and Powertrain Warranties.
Covered service must be provided in Canada or the Continental United States and is limited to plated
and insured vehicles that use public roadways.
Service will not be provided free if you have driven into an area that is inaccessible to the service
vehicle or is not a regularly travelled and maintained public road (such as beaches, recreational areas,
construction sites, open fields, private and seasonal roads). Cross-country, logging, autocross and any
other form of off-road use is not covered.
The program does not cover winching or towing for vehicles that become stuck while plowing snow.
The program does not cover repeat calls for the same problem (if avoidance of the problem is within
the control of the driver or owner), or towing from one retailer to another, or service if the driver
appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
The program does not pay for parts, tires, repairs, labour or vehicle storage. Parts, repairs, or labour
covered under a vehicle warranty will be provided by your Chrysler Canada Retailer.
The program does not pay for towing required because of an accident.For example, if a vehicle is
winched from a ditch or snowbank and is then determined to need a tow because of damage suffered
when it left the road, the tow will not be covered.
The program does not cover any “incidental or consequential damages” connected with the failure of
your vehicle or providing services to you. Such damages include lost time, inconvenience, loss of use
of your vehicle, rental cars, fuel, telephone, travel or lodging, loss of personal or commercial property,
loss of revenue, etc.
All service providers are independent contractors and are not employees or agents of Chrysler
Canada. Any loss or damage to your vehicle or personal property resulting from providing roadside
service is the responsibility of the roadside service provider (the towing company, for example).
Report any damage or loss to the manager of the service provider and to your own insurance company
within 24 hours and before any repairs are performed.

Chrysler Canada reserves the right to limit services or reimbursement claims for any vehicle, if in our
opinion there is abuse of the services or requests for service become unreasonable or too frequent.
The program may be amended or cancelled at any time without refund.
IN REMOTE LOCATIONS
If your vehicle suffers a warrantable mechanical breakdown at a considerable distance from a
Chrysler Canada Retailer, we reserve the right to engage a nearby non-Chrysler service facility to
repair your vehicle, to minimize inconvenience to you.
In very remote areas, if your vehicle cannot be taken by road to the servicing retailer, transportation
by rail or water may be necessary. The program will cover a tow to the dock or rail terminal and also
to the retailer at the end of the trip, but special transportation by rail or water must be arranged for
and paid by you. We will reimburse you for special transportation costs, up to $300 per incident.
IF YOU HAVE TO PAY
If you have to pay for a service that is normally covered by the program, you may claim
reimbursement under the following conditions:
•You must have called the toll-free number first for assistance
•Towing claims must be accompanied by the original detailed repair bill and towing invoice
•Reimbursement will be limited to the local Roadside Assistance contractor rates, to a maximum of
$100 per incident, unless otherwise noted
•Only original receipts, bills and/or charge card copies submitted by you will be accepted for
consideration for reimbursement. Originals will be returned upon request.
•Mail your claims to:

Chrysler Canada reserves the right to decline any claim presented for payment later than 30 days from
the date the service was performed, or if service was provided by an unlicenced garage or individual.
OPTIONAL CHRYSLER CANADA SERVICE
CONTRACTS
As complete as our new warranty is, it may not give you total protection for your ownership period,
nor does it provide the regular maintenance which is required to keep your new vehicle at its optimal
operating condition. If you lease a vehicle, you should be aware of your obligation to maintain and
repair the vehicle.
Chrysler Canada Service Contracts can enhance your new vehicle’s factory warranty from the day of
delivery and provide mechanical coverage on most major components†† when your factory warranty
expires. There are 3 types of plans available for purchase to suit most needs and the average length
of ownership.
Please see your selling retailer for “Special Use” Service Contract availability.
††Subject to limitations. Details available at your selling retailer.
