Things to Know About the Certified Pre-owned Limited Warranty

Warranty Repairs — Component Exchanges

In the interest of customer satisfaction, GM may offer exchange service on some vehicle components. This service is intended to reduce the amount of time your vehicle is not available for use due to repairs. Components used in exchange are service replacement parts which may be new, remanufactured, reconditioned, or repaired, depending on the component involved.

All exchange components used meet GM standards and are warranty the same as new components. Examples of the types of components that might be serviced in this fashion include: engine and transmission assemblies, instrument cluster assemblies, radios, compact disc players, tape players, batteries, and powertrain control modules.

Warranty Repairs — Recycled Materials

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines and GM support the capture, purification, and reuse of automotive air conditioning refrigerant gases and engine coolant. As a result, any repairs GM may make to your vehicle may involve the installation of purified reclaimed refrigerant and coolant.

Tire Service

Any authorized GM dealer or tire dealer from your brand of tires can assist you with tire service. If, after contacting one of these dealers, you need further assistance or you have questions, contact the Customer Assistance center.

Vehicle Operation and Care

Considering the investment you have made in your vehicle, we know you will want to operate and maintain it properly. We urge you to follow the maintenance instructions in your owner manual.

If you have questions on how to keep your vehicle in good working condition, see your Cadillac dealer, the place many customers choose to have their maintenance work done. You can rely on your Cadillac dealer to use the proper parts and repair practices.

Maintenance and Warranty Service Records

Retain receipts covering performance of regular maintenance. Receipts can be very important if a question arises as to whether a malfunction is caused by a lack of maintenance or a defect in material or workmanship.

A Maintenance Record is provided in the maintenance schedule section of the owner manual for recording services performed. The servicing dealer can provide a copy of any warranty repairs for your records.

Touring Owner Service — Foreign Countries

If you are touring in a foreign country and repairs are needed, take your vehicle to a GM dealer facility, preferably one which sells and services your brand vehicles. Once you return to the United States, provide your dealer with a statement of circumstances, the original repair order, proof o ownership, and any paid receipts indicating the work performed and parts replaced for reimbursement considerations.

Important: GM warranty coverages may be void on GM vehicles that have been imported/exported for resale.

Other Terms: This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

GM does not authorize any person to create for it any other obligations or liability in connection with these vehicles. Any implied warranty or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose applicable to this vehicle is limited in duration to the duration of this written warranty. Performance of repairs and needed adjustments is the exclusive remedy under this written warranty or any implied warranty. GM shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages, such as, but not limited to, lost wages or vehicle rental expenses, resulting from breach of this written warranty or any implied warranty.*


 

*Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty will last or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

New Vehicle Limited Warranty Coverage

Your purchase of a Certified Pre-owned Cadillac also entitles you to the remainder of the unexpired portion of the original 4 year/50,000 mile Bumper-to-Bumper, Emissions and Corrosion Protection warranties.
