John Deere and Federal Emissions Control System Warranty (Off Road Utility Vehicle Gas over 25 mph)

Your Warranty Rights and Obligations

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and John Deere are pleased to explain the emissions control system warranty on your off-road vehicle engine and equipment. 2008 and later model year off-road vehicle engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for off-road vehicles with spark ignition engines. John Deere must warrant the emissions control system on your off-road vehicle engine and equipment for the period of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your off-road vehicle engine and equipment.

Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel hose, fuel-injection system and ignition system. Also included may be connectors and other emissions related assemblies.

Where a warrantable condition exists, John Deere will repair your off-road vehicle engine and equipment at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

John Deere Emission Control System Warranty Coverage

2008 and later off-road vehicle engines and equipment are warranted relative to emissions control parts as follows: For vehicles without an odometer the emissions warranty period is 30 months. For vehicles with an odometer the emissions warranty period is 30 months, 500 hours or 5000 kilometers, whichever comes first. In no event shall the emissions related warranty be less than any published warranty offered without charge for the engine. If any emissions related part on your engine or equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere.

Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities

As the off-road vehicle engine and equipment owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner’s manual. John Deere recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your off-road vehicle engine and equipment, but John Deere cannot deny warranty solely for lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure all scheduled maintenance is performed.

As the off-road vehicle engine and equipment owner, you should however be aware that John Deere may deny you warranty coverage if your off-road vehicle engine and equipment or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your off-road vehicle engine and equipment to an authorized John Deere Turf and Utility retailer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact your John Deere Turf and Utility retailer, or the John Deere Customer Contact Center at 1-800-537-8233, or e-mail John Deere from www.Deere.com.

Length of Warranty Coverage

John Deere warrants to the initial owner and each subsequent purchaser that the off-road vehicle engine and equipment is:

• Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 2008 and later equipment engines; and
• Free from defects in materials and workmanship which can cause the failure of an emissions warranted part. For vehicles without an odometer the emissions warranty period is 30 months. For vehicles with an odometer the emissions warranty period is 30 months, 500 hours or 5000 kilometers, whichever comes first, after the engine and equipment is delivered to the initial retail purchaser. In no event shall the emissions related warranty be less than any published warranty offered without charge for the engine. John Deere is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part during the warranty period. If any emissions related part on your engine or equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by John Deere.
