The vehicle must have been originally sold by Volvo
Car USA, LLC,
1 or Volvo Car Canada Limited1 and
registered and operated in any of the 50 states of
the U.S., the District of Columbia, any territories
or commonwealths of the United States, or any
territories or provinces of Canada. Any remaining
portion of the warranties is fully transferable to
subsequent owners free-of-charge.
Previously Owned VolvosIf you have purchased a previously owned Volvo
and the New Vehicle Warranty has not expired,
you are entitled to the remaining portion of that
warranty. Please refer to the sections “Volvo

on how to provide the changed ownership

Warranty RepairsWarranty repairs which are required as a result
of defects in material or workmanship, and are
brought to the attention of an authorized Volvo

at Volvo’s discretion. These are the recommended
parts for your Volvo. They meet the same design
and quality standards as those components
originally installed in your vehicle. All parts replaced
will become the property of Volvo for technical
material analysis or other usage.
Repairs required because of damage, misuse,
abuse, collision, normal wear and tear, incomplete
or improper maintenance are not covered by

and should be carefully reviewed.
LimitationsNo implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose shall apply
except during the applicable periods of this
warranty.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state or province to province. Some
states/provinces do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the
above limitations may not apply to you.
For a complete description, refer to the article
“Limitations and Disclaimers” in this booklet.

50,000 Miles/80,000 Km

will receive the remainder of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty (U.S.), New Vehicle Warranty
(Canada) period when retailed.
Certain components are covered by specific
warranties, such as the Federal Emissions

vehicle purchase, the warranty period is four

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

under normal operation and use of your vehicle.

refers to minor repairs not usually associated with

service items. Parts which are covered for
replacement because of wear during the

problems which would result in voiding this
warranty.

maintain coverage under the Corrosion Protection
Warranty:
• repairs are performed to Volvo standards,
• your Volvo retailer will identify the location of a
Volvo Certified Body and Paint Service Center,
