YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The California Air Resources Board ("CARB") and CLUB CAR are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2007 vehicle engine. In California, new small off-road
engines (SORE) must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. CLUB CAR must warrant the emission control system on the vehicle engine for
the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel-injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts,
connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, CLUB CAR will repair your vehicle engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This emission control system is warranted for two years. If any emission-related part on your equipment is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by CLUB CAR.
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- As the vehicle engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. CLUB CAR recommends that you retain all receipts
covering maintenance on your vehicle engine, but CLUB CAR cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
- As the vehicle engine owner, you should however be aware that CLUB CAR may deny you warranty coverage if vehicle engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance or unapproved modifications.
- You are responsible for presenting vehicle engine to a CLUB CAR distribution center as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of
