Your emission control system may include parts such as the fuel injection system and engine electronic control module. Also included may be hoses, connectors and other emission-related assemblies.
If an emission-related part on your engine is found to have a defect in material or factory workmanship that produces a measurable increase in emissions (Warrantable Condition), the part will be repaired or replaced by Cummins. This is your emission control system defects warranty.
