California Emissions

How the California Emissions Warranty on Evaporative Emission Parts Must Function as Prescribed in 13 CCR § 2419.1

(1) Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as part of maintenance in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the warranty period. If any such part fails during the warranty period, it must be repaired or replaced by POLARIS according to subdivision (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be fully warranted.

(2) Any warranted part which is scheduled only for regular inspection in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the warranty period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” must not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remaining warranty period.

(3) Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as part of maintenance in the Owner’s Manual must be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails before the first scheduled replacement point, the part must be repaired or replaced by POLARIS according to subdivision (4). Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty must be warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the part.

(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted part under the warranty provisions of this Article must be performed at no charge to the OHRV owner, at a warranty station, except in the case of a temporary repair when a warranted part or a warranty station is not reasonably available to the OHRV owner. In the event a temporary repair is permitted according to subdivision (8) below, repairs may be performed at any available service establishment, or by the owner, using any replacement part. POLARIS must reimburse the owner for his or her expenses including diagnostic charges for such temporary repair or replacement, not to exceed POLARIS' suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and labor charges based on the POLARIS recommended time allowance for the warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (4) above, warranty services or repairs must be provided at all POLARIS dealerships that are owned by POLARIS or franchised to service the subject OHRVs.

(6) The OHRV owner must not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a warranted part is, in fact, defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.

(7) POLARIS is liable for damages to other vehicle components proximately caused by a failure, under warranty, of any warranted part.

(8) Throughout the OHRV's evaporative emissions warranty period, POLARIS must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts. The lack of availability of such parts or the incompleteness of repairs within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 30 days from the time the OHRV is initially presented to the warranty station for repair, will qualify the need for a temporary repair for purposes of subdivision (4).

(9) Any replacement part designated by POLARIS may be used in warranty repairs provided without charge to the OHRV owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of POLARIS, except that POLARIS will not be liable under the provisions of this Article for repair or replacement of any replacement part which is not a warranted part (except as provided under subdivision (d)(7)).

(10) Any add-on or modified part exempted by the Air Resources Board from the prohibitions of section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code may be used on an OHRV. Such use, in and of itself, will not be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made under the provisions of this Article. POLARIS is not liable under the provisions of this Article to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of an add-on or modified part(s) unless such part(s) are also warranted.

(11) Upon a request of the Executive Officer, POLARIS must provide any documents that describe the manufacturer's warranty procedures or policies.

(12) Any replacement part must not reduce the effectiveness of the OHRV emission control system. POLARIS must demonstrate that the applicable emission standards are being met when the replacement part(s) are installed on the OHRV. The demonstration of equivalence to applicable emission standards can be achieved through replacing the part(s) with the evaporative emissions control components the OHRV evaporative family was certified with; or, if unavailable, alternative parts may be installed if POLARIS can provide test data to verify the evaporative control system meets, at least, the OHRV EFEL.

Exclusion

Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions (1) - (12) above, the repair or replacement of any warranted part otherwise eligible for the California Warranty on Evaporative Emission Parts, is excluded from such warranty coverage if POLARIS can provide evidence to the California Air Resources Board Executive Officer, to the Executive Officer's satisfaction, that the OHRV has been abused, neglected, improperly maintained, or had unapproved modifications and that such abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modification, was the direct cause of the need for the repair or replacement of the part.
