3.1. MODIFICATIONS NOT COVERED
A. SOME MODIFICATIONS DO NOT VOID THE WARRANTIES BUT 
A
RE NOT COVERED
Certain changes that you might make to your vehicle do not, by 
themselves, void the warranties described in this booklet. Examples of 
some of these changes are:
• Installing non-FCA US LLC parts, components, or equipment such as, a 
non-FCA US LLC radio or speed control.
• Using special non-FCA US LLC materials or additives.

Your warranties do not cover any part that was not on your vehicle when it 
left the manufacturing plant or is not certified for use on your vehicle. Nor 
do they cover the costs of any repairs or adjustments that might be caused 
or needed because of the installation or use of non-FCA US LLC parts, 
components, equipment, materials, or additives.
 NOTE:
Non-FCA US LLC parts can also impact downstream or other related 
safety systems.
Performance or racing parts are considered to be non-FCA US LLC parts. 
Repairs or adjustments caused by their use are not covered under your 
warranties.
Examples of the types of alterations not covered are:
• Installing accessories — except for genuine FCA US LLC/MOPAR® acces
-
sories installed by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep® or Ram dealer.
• Applying rustproofing or other protection products.

• Using any refrigerant that FCA US LLC has not approved.
B. MODIFICATIONS THAT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTIES
These actions will void your warranties:
• Disconnecting, tampering with, or altering the odometer will void your  warranties, unless your repairing technician follows the legal require -
ments for repairing or replacing odometers.
• Attaching any device that disconnects the odometer will also void your  warranties.

3.8. RESTRICTED WARRANTY
FCA US LLC may restrict the warranty on your vehicle if the vehicle is not

14OTHER TERMS OF YOUR WARRANTIES
4. OTHER TERMS OF YOUR 
W
ARRANTIES
4.1. EXCHANGED PARTS MAY BE USED IN WARRANTY REPAIRS
In the interest of customer satisfaction, FCA US LLC may offer exchange 
service on some vehicle parts. This service is intended to reduce the 
amount of time your vehicle is not available for your use because of 
repairs. Parts used in exchange service may be new, remanufactured, 
reconditioned, or repaired, depending on the part involved.
All exchange parts that might be used meet FCA US LLC standards, and 
have the same warranties as new parts. Examples of the kinds of parts that might be serviced in this way are:
• Engine Assemblies
• Transmission Assemblies
• Instrument Cluster Assemblies
• Radios, CD and DVD players
• Speedometers
• Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
To help control suspected ozone-depleting agents, the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) requires the capture, purification, and reuse of 
automotive air conditioning refrigerant gases. As a result, a repair to the 
sealed portion of your air conditioning system may involve the installation 
of purified reclaimed refrigerant.

In addition, dealers must inspect each vehicle before delivery. They repair 
any defects or damage detected before the vehicle is delivered to you.
4.3. PRODUCTION CHANGES
Changes may be made in vehicles sold by FCA US LLC and its authorized 
dealers at any time without incurring any obligation to make the same or 
similar changes on vehicles previously built or sold.

EMISSION WARRANTIES REQUIRED BY LAW17
B. PARTS COVERED FOR EIGHT YEARS OR 80,000 MILES
If your vehicle has one of the following parts, this Federal Emission 
Warranty covers that part for a period of eight years or 80,000 miles, 
whichever occurs first, calculated from the start of the Basic Limited 
Warranty as set forth in “section 2.1 E”. The covered parts are:

5.1”. It lasts for two years or 24,000 miles on the odometer, whichever 
occurs first. If your vehicle has one of the following parts: catalytic 
converter or Powertrain Control Module (PCM), this Emission Performance

such a test.
• You face a real penalty — for example, a fine or the loss of the use of your  vehicle — because the vehicle has failed the test.

Performance Warranties), for further information on how to get service 
under this warranty.

18HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE
6. HOW TO GET WARRANTY SERVICE
6.1. WHERE TO TAKE YOUR VEHICLE
A. IN THE UNITED STATES (WE INCLUDE US POSSESSIONS AND 
T
ERRITORIES AS PART OF THE UNITED STATES FOR WARRANTY 
P
URPOSES)
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or 
Ram dealer. We strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to your 
selling dealer. They know your vehicle best, and are most concerned that 
you get prompt and high quality service. If you move within the United 
States, warranty service may be requested from any authorized Chrysler, 
Dodge, Jeep or Ram dealer.
B. IN CANADA AND MEXICO
If you are traveling temporarily in Canada or Mexico, and your vehicle 
remains registered in the United States, your FCA US LLC warranty still 
applies. Service may be requested at any authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep 
or Ram dealership.
C. IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY OUTSIDE OF NORTH AMERICA
If you are traveling temporarily outside of North America, and your vehicle 
remains registered in the United States:
• You should take your vehicle to an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or 
Ram dealer. They should give you the same warranty service you receive 
in the United States.
• If the authorized dealership charges you for repairs which you feel should  be covered under your warranty, please get a detailed receipt for the work 
done. Make sure that this receipt lists all warranty repairs and parts that 
were involved. This receipt will be similar to the one used by the autho -
rized dealer who normally services your vehicle.
• When your vehicle returns to the United States, contact the FCA US LLC  Customer Assistance Center in “section 7.2” for reimbursement consid -
eration. You will normally need to provide a copy of the receipt, your 
vehicle registration and any other relevant documents.
• Reimbursement will not be considered if the vehicle does not return to  the United States.
