WHO IS THE WARRANTOR
Infiniti1 warrants all parts of your 2021 Infiniti
vehicle supplied by Infiniti, except for those
listed under the caption “WHAT IS NOT
COVERED.”
APPLICABILITY
•• This warranty is provided to the original and
subsequent owner(s) of an Infiniti vehicle
originally distributed by Infiniti which is
originally sold by a Infiniti authorized Infiniti
retailer in the United States, and which is
registered and normally operated in the
United States (including Alaska and Hawaii),
the United States territories (specifically
Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Puerto
Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and
Canada.
•• Your Infiniti vehicle is manufactured to
meet U.S. regulations and environmental
requirements. With the exception of privately
owned vehicles belonging to members of
the U.S. military or employees and officers
of the United States Government stationed
abroad, this warranty does not apply if an
otherwise covered vehicle is operated in,
or relocated to, a country other than those
listed above under this caption, except
that it continues to apply if the vehicle is
operated in full compliance with its proper
use as described in the applicable Owner’s
Manual
2 while touring outside of the United
States, the U.S. territories or Canada for a
period not exceeding sixty (60) consecutive
days or sixty (60) days in any one 12 month
period. This warranty applies to a relocated
vehicle which is returned to, and is registered
and normally operated in the United States,
the U.S. territories or Canada, except for
conditions due to the vehicle’s foreign
operation, e.g., use of inappropriate fuels or
other fluids. Infiniti makes available to you, and you are
specifically required by Federal law to use
BBB AUTO LINE [(800) 955-5100] before
exercising rights or seeking remedies under
the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Act, 15 U.S.C §2301, et. seq. You are not
required to first use BBB AUTO LINE if you
seek remedies not created by Title 1 of that
Federal law, but are required to first use BBB
AUTO LINE if you seek remedies created by
state law, including your state’s lemon law, if
applicable state law provides for using a 703
compliant or similar process before filing suit.

warnings may result in loss of control of the
vehicle, leading to an accident and serious
injury or death.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory
mileage and performance from your Goodyear
or Dunlop tires is to give them a simple but
frequent (at least monthly) inspection for
proper inflation, even treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for
optimum tire performance, safety and fuel
economy. Check inflation pressures at least
once a month and before long trips. Use an
accurate tire pressure gauge. Always check
pressures when the tires are cold (when the
vehicle has been driven less than one mile). If
you must check inflation when the tires are
hot, add 4 psi (27 kPa) to the recommended
cold inflation pressure. It is difficult to tell just
by looking at radial tires whether they are
underinflated.*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle
equipped with radial tires, it is difficult to
notice when a tire has gone flat or nearly flat
since the “feel” of the vehicle does not change
significantly. *Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation
always requires expert inspection to determine
the source of leakage and tire removal to
determine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER
attempt to reinflate a tire that has been run
severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures,
cuts, curbing, impacts or partial bead
unseating. Some fitment causes for air loss are
(1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing
caused by a machine tool due to insufficient
lubrication or improper adjustment, (3) leaking
valve core or rubber valve components should
be replaced when problems are detected and
whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle
certification label or in the vehicle Owner’s
Manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire
failure and may result in severe cracking,
component separation or “blowout.” It reduces
tire load capacity, allows excessive sidewall
flexing and increases rolling resistance,
resulting in heat and mechanical damage.
Maintaining proper inflation pressure is the
single most important thing you can do to
promote tire durability and maximize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may
deteriorate ride and generate unwanted
vibration. Overinflation also increases the
chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
OR TIRES
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to
determine the load limits. Overloading your
vehicle places stress on your tires and other
critical vehicle components. Overloading a
vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may cause tire failure.
Overloading your tires can result in severe
cracking, component separation or “blowout”.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have
less load capacity than shown on the vehicle
tire placard and remember that optimum
rim width is important for proper tire load
distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the
sidewalls of P-Metric & European Metric tires
is reduced by 10% when used on a light truck,
utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric
or European Metric tires to light trucks that
specify LT-type replacement tires.
