WARRANTY
If an emergency occurs and an authorized Volvo 
retailer is not reasonably available, repairs may be 
performed at any available service establishment 
or by any individual, using any replacement part. 
When a warranted part is not available within 
thirty (30) days or the repair cannot be completed 
within thirty (30) days, repairs may be performed 
at any available service establishment or by any 
individual, using any replacement part.
Volvo will reimburse the owner for emergency 
repairs (including diagnosis) that are covered 
under this warranty. The expenses, however, 
cannot exceed our suggested retail price for all 
warranted parts replaced and labor charges, 
based on Volvo’s recommended time allowance 
for the warranty repair and the geographically 
appropriate hourly labor rate. Replaced parts and 
paid invoices must be presented at a Volvo retailer 
as a condition of reimbursement for emergency 
repairs not performed by a Volvo retailer.
Failure to notify the owner of a decision to 
honor or deny a Performance Warranty Claim 
within thirty (30) days from the time the vehicle 
is initially presented for repair shall result in 
the vehicle manufacturer being responsible for 
repairing the vehicle without charge to the vehicle 
owner, unless such failure is attributable to the 
vehicle owner or to events beyond the control of 
the vehicle manufacturer or the repair facility. You are advised to have all recommended 
maintenance or repairs on your new 2021 
Volvo vehicle performed. Volvo will not deny 
a warranty claim solely because you have no 
record of maintenance; however, we may deny a 
warranty claim if your failure to perform required 
maintenance resulted in the failure of a  
warranted part.
Receipts and/or maintenance records covering 
the performance of regular maintenance should, 
therefore, be retained in the event questions arise 
concerning maintenance.
Inspection Program
California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, 
Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, 
New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode 
Island, Vermont and Washington
The following provisions apply to vehicles 
which fail to pass the California, Connecticut, 
Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, 
New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, 
Rhode Island, Vermont or Washington Smog 
Inspection. Should your vehicle fail a smog check 
test during the warranty period, you may choose 
to have the vehicle repaired at any authorized 
Volvo retailer. The authorized Volvo retailer will 
make the necessary repairs within the three (3) 
year/50,000-mile period so that the vehicle will 
pass the inspection. After three (3) years/50,000 
miles, but before a period of use of seven (7) 
years/70,000 miles, the authorized Volvo dealer 
will repair or replace only those parts listed in the 
article “2021 Model Year Emission Parts List” 
in this booklet. After seven (7) years/70,000 
miles, but before a period of use of eight (8) 
years/80,000 miles, the authorized Volvo 
retailer will cover only the catalytic converter, 
engine control module, electronic rear axle drive 
(ERAD) and onboard diagnostic device. TZEV 
vehicles identified in the article “Volvo’s 2021 
New Vehicle Warranties” in this booklet have 
all emission components except for the hybrid 
battery covered for a period of fifteen (15) years 
or 150,000 miles. Volvo will pay for the repair 
unless the failure was caused by abuse, neglect, 
improper maintenance, or the use of leaded

WARRANTY
fuel or fuels not recommended in your Owner’s 
Manual or this booklet. If the failure is covered 
under this warranty, Volvo shall be liable for 
diagnostic and repair expenses. If the failure is 
caused by a combination of warrantable and 
nonwarrantable conditions, the owner shall not be 
liable for the portion of diagnostic and repair costs 
relating to the warrantable condition. If the failure 
is caused by a nonwarrantable condition, the 
vehicle owner shall be liable for all diagnostic and 
repair expenses, but not to exceed the maximum 
permissible under the inspection program. The 
owner may choose to have the vehicle repaired at 
a facility other than a Volvo retailer; however, if a 
warrantable condition is found, the owner must 
bring the vehicle to an authorized Volvo retailer to 
have the repairs completed at no cost for parts, 
labor, and diagnosis. Volvo will not reimburse 
the owner for diagnostic costs incurred at the 
unauthorized service facility except in the case of 
an emergency.
What Is Not Warranted (applies to all 
models)
1.  Required maintenance services as specified in 
the article “Maintenance Service Operations” 
in this booklet. Items that affect emissions 
and require scheduled replacement are 
warranted up to their first replacement point 
[such as spark plugs, filters, belts, etc.]. 
Once these parts have been replaced at the 
scheduled replacement point, they are no 
longer covered by this Emission Warranty.
2.  Malfunctions in any part caused by misuse, 
improper adjustments (by other than a 
Volvo dealer during warranty repair work), 
modification, alteration, tampering or 
disconnection of system parts.
3.  Damage resulting from accidents, acts of 
nature, or events beyond the control of Volvo.
4.  The use of fuel and/or oil, or other fluids which 
do not meet the Volvo-approved standards 
as set forth in the Owner’s Manual or in the 
articles “Fuel requirements” and “Engine oil” 
in this booklet, may not be warranted. 5. 
Repairs on vehicles for which the true 
odometer mileage cannot be readily 
determined.
6.  Parts other than genuine Volvo replacement or 
remanufactured parts used for maintenance, 
repair or replacement affecting components of 
the emission control system.
7.   Any loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle 
use or commercial loss.
