Parts and Labour needed to maintain the vehicle and the replacement of parts due to normal wear and tear are the responsibility of the vehicle owner and are not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Examples from the Scheduled Maintenance section of the Service Guide are:
- Spark plugs, oil changes, oil filters, air filters, fuel filters, tire rotation, cleaning/polishing, and engine tune-up
- Adding oils, lubricants and other fluids (except refrigerant).
- Wear items such as wiper blades, brake linings/pads, and clutch linings (Including the dual clutch assembly from a dual clutch transmission).
NOTE: Filters are considered a wear and tear item and will not be reimbursed until the failure is a direct result of a defects in factory materials or workmanship to that filter (a blocked filter is not a defect). Claims for contamination due to sub-standard fuel quality or replacement of oil filters at the end of their service life will not be accepted.
