ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE
LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THIS
WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential
damages or limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal

create for it any other warranty, obligation
or liability in connection with this vehicle.

for use on Infiniti vehicles. Infiniti reserves the
right to make changes at any time, without
notice, to production and service parts in their

MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Important information concerning
maintenance service and replacement parts is
on page 17 of this booklet. No warranty claim
will be denied solely because a non- Infiniti
part was used for maintenance or repair.
CALIFORNIA VEHICLE INSPECTION
PROGRAM
Under this program, if your vehicle fails a “smog
check” test, you may choose to have diagnosis
of the failure and repairs made at an Infiniti
retailer or at another service facility. If the
inspection failure is the result of a condition
covered by these warranties, you must take
your vehicle to an Infiniti retailer for warranty
repairs. This includes parts, labor and diagnosis.
You must pay for diagnostic costs if performed
at another service facility except in the case of
emergency repairs as outlined below.You must pay for all diagnostic and repair costs
of an inspection failure as required by law if the
failure was caused by conditions not covered
by these warranties. If the failure is the result
of a combination of conditions, you must pay
for only the diagnostic and repair costs related
to items not covered by these warranties.
After the 4 years/60,000 mile performance
warranty has passed, a “smog check” test
failure due to a defect in a part which is
warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles is
covered.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
In case of an emergency, when an authorized
Infiniti retailer is not reasonably available,
warranty repairs may be performed at any
service facility or by the owner using any
replacement parts. Infiniti will reimburse you
for such repairs, including diagnosis, up to
the amount of Infiniti’s suggested retail price
for parts and labor charges based on Infiniti’s
recommended time allowance for the warranty
repair and the geographically appropriate
hourly labor rate. A part not being available
or a repair not being complete within 30 days
also constitutes an emergency. You must
take the replaced part and paid receipts to an
authorized Infiniti retailer for repayment in
such emergency situations.

12 months from the date of tire manufacture),

HIGHWAY AUTO AND LIGHT
TRUCK TIRE REPLACEMENT AND
ADJUSTMENT POLICY (EXCLUDES
GOODYEAR UNISTEEL
® RADIAL
LIGHT TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits of this Limited
Warranty if you meet all the following criteria:
•• You are the owner or authorized agent of the
owner of new Goodyear or Dunlop highway
auto or light truck tires supplied as Original
Equipment on your vehicle.
•• Your tires bear Department of Transportation
prescribed tire identification numbers.
•• Your tires have been used only on the vehicle
on which they were originally installed
according to the vehicle manufacturer or
Goodyear’s recommendations.
•• Your tires were purchased on or after
September 1, 2012.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires
identified with the “LT” designation in the
sidewall stamping.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway radial
auto or radial light truck tire, covered by this
policy, removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the first 2/32” of usable treadwear or twelve months from date
of purchase, whichever comes first, will be
replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or
Dunlop tire at no charge, including mounting
and balancing. (Without proof of purchase the
date of manufacture will be used to determine
eligibility.)
ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO OR LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto
or light truck tire, other than radial auto, radial
light truck tires, removed from service due to
a covered warranty condition during the first
1/32” of usable treadwear will be replaced
with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire at no charge, including mounting and
balancing.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Goodyear or Dunlop temporary spare
tire removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the first 50% of
usable treadwear (1/32”) will be replaced
with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
temporary spare tire at no charge, including
mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement that
are removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition will be replaced with a
comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop tire on a
prorated basis for up to six (6) years from the
date of original new tire purchase or when the treadwear indicators become visible (worn to
2/32”), whichever occurs first. (Without proof
of purchase the date of manufacture will be
used to determine eligibility.)
HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES
BE CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by
multiplying the tire’s advertised retail selling
price at the time of adjustment by the
percentage of usable original tread that has
been worn off. You pay for mounting and
balancing, and an amount equal to the current
Federal Excise Tax (F.E.T. – U.S. only) any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated
charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original
8/32” of usable treadwear and is worn to
4/32” usable tread remaining, you have used
50%, and therefore must pay 50% of the
advertised retail selling price of the comparable
tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount equal to
the full current Federal Excise Tax (U.S. only)
or any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges for the comparable new
replacement tire at the time of adjustment. If
the price of the new comparable tire is $80,
the cost to you would be $40 plus F.E.T. (U.S.
only) plus any other applicable taxes and
government-mandated charges.
(Continued on next page)
Page 31 of 64
28
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop tire
will be the same brand tire and may either be
the same line of tire or, in the event that the
tire is not available, the same brand tire with
the same basic construction and quality with
a different sidewall or tread configuration. If a
higher priced tire is accepted as replacement,
the difference in price will be at an additional
charge to you.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to
this warranty will be covered by the Goodyear
or Dunlop warranty in effect at the time of
replacement.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life
and the coverage of this limited warranty
ends when the treadwear indicators become
visible (worn to 2/32”), or six (6) years from
the date of new tire purchase, whichever
occurs first. (Without proof of purchase the
date of manufacture will be used to determine
eligibility.)
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the
United States and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS
WARRANTY?
This limited warranty does not cover the
following:
•• Tires submitted for ride disturbance
