Wear and Tear ItemsAs part of your vehicle’s normal service and
maintenance requirements, certain parts may
need to be replaced due to wear and tear. Since
these parts are consumed at varying rates,
replacement is based on the operation and
condition of your vehicle and on fixed schedules
under normal operation and use of your vehicle.
These items include, but may not be limited to,
the following list: filters, fuses, belts, brake pads,
brake rotors, wiper blades, shock absorbers, floor
mats, upholstery/rugs, etc.
Replacement of these items are the owner’s
responsibility, with the exception of those items
covered during the Adjustments Coverage Period
(see the following section) or where specific
manufacturing defects may be demonstrated.
Adjustments CoverageAdjustments which are refinements to the original
factory fittings and alignments, and which are
required as part of the break-in period, will be
made during the Adjustments Coverage Period.
Exceptions are items covered under normal
maintenance services, including Pre-Delivery or
items excluded in the New Vehicle section. The
duration of the adjustment coverage is twelve

refers to minor repairs not usually associated with
the replacement of parts or normal maintenance
service items. Parts which are covered for
replacement because of wear during the
Adjustments Period only are: brake pads, brake
rotors and shock absorbers. These items may also
be covered under the Basic Warranty Period if
