Coverage
Products Warranted
This Warranty applies to new L10, M11, ISM, N14, ISX and Signature series Engines sold by Cummins and delivered to the first user on or after January 1, 2003, that are used in automotive on-highway applications anywhere in the world where Cummins approved service is available, except in the United States*, Canada, Europe**, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Korea or Latin America*** where different Warranties apply, except for Engines used in bus and coach applications for which different Warranty coverage is provided.
Base Engine Warranty
The Base Engine Warranty covers any failures of the Engine which result, under normal use and service, from defects in material or factory workmanship (Warrantable Failure). This coverage begins with the sale of the Engine by Cummins and ends one year or 160,935 kilometers (100,000 miles) or 3,600 hours of operation, whichever occurs first, after the date of delivery of the Engine to the first user.
Extended Major Components Warranty
The Extended Major Components Warranty covers Warrantable Failures of the Engine cylinder block, camshaft, crankshaft and connecting rods (Covered Parts).
Bushing and bearing failures are not covered.
This coverage begins with the expiration of the Base Engine Warranty and ends three years or 482,804 kilometers (300,000 miles) or 10,800 hours of operation, whichever occurs first, after the date of delivery of the Engine to the first user.
These Warranties are made to all Owners in the chain of distribution, and Coverage continues to all subsequent Owners until the end of the periods of Coverage.
Cummins Responsibilities
During the Base Engine Warranty
Cummins will pay for all parts and labor needed to repair the damage to the Engine resulting from a Warrantable Failure.
Cummins will pay reasonable costs for towing a vehicle disabled by a Warrantable Failure to the nearest authorized repair location. In lieu of the towing expense, Cummins will pay reasonable costs for mechanics to travel to and from the location of the vehicle, including meals, mileage and lodging, when the repair is performed at the site of the failure.
Cummins will pay for the lubricating oil, antifreeze, filter elements and other maintenance items that are not reusable due to the Warrantable Failure.
Cummins will pay for reasonable labor costs for Engine removal and reinstallation when necessary to repair a Warrantable Failure.
During the Extended Major Components Warranty
Cummins will pay for the repair or, at its option, replacement of the defective Covered Part and any Covered Part damaged by a Warrantable Failure of the defective Covered Part.
Owner Responsibilities
During The Base Engine Warranty
Owner is responsible for the cost of lubricating oil, antifreeze, filter elements and other maintenance items provided during Warranty repairs unless such items are not reusable due to the Warrantable Failure.
During The Extended Major Components Warranty
Owner is responsible for the cost of all labor needed to repair the Engine, including the labor to remove and reinstall the Engine. When Cummins elects to repair a part instead of replacing it, Owner is not responsible for the labor needed to repair the part.
Owner is responsible for the cost of all parts required for the repair except for the defective Covered Part and any Covered Part damaged by a Warrantable Failure of the defective Covered Part.
Owner is responsible for the cost of lubricating oil, antifreeze, filter elements and other maintenance items replaced during the repair.
Additional Responsibilities During Both Warranties
Owner is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Engine as specified in the applicable Cummins Operation and Maintenance Manual. Owner is also responsible for providing proof that all recommended maintenance has been performed.
Before the expiration of the applicable Warranty, Owner must notify a Cummins distributor, authorized dealer or other repair location approved by Cummins of any Warrantable Failure and make the Engine available for repair by such facility. Owner must deliver the Engine to the repair facility. Locations are listed in the Cummins International Sales and Service Directory.
Owner is responsible for communication expenses, meals, lodging and similar costs incurred as a result of a Warrantable Failure.
Owner is responsible for non-Engine repairs, “downtime” expenses, cargo damage, fines, all applicable taxes, all business costs and other losses resulting from a Warrantable Failure.
Limitations
Cummins is not responsible for failures or damage resulting from what Cummins determines to be abuse or neglect, including, but not limited to: operation without adequate coolants or lubricants; overfueling; overspeeding; lack of maintenance of lubricating, cooling or intake systems; improper storage, starting, warm-up, run-in or shutdown practices; unauthorized modifications of the Engine. Cummins is also not responsible for failures caused by incorrect oil or fuel, or by water, dirt or other contaminants in the fuel or oil.
This Warranty does not apply to accessories which bear the name of another company. This category includes, but is not limited to: Alternators, starters, fans, air conditioning compressors, clutches, filters, transmissions, torque converters, vacuum pumps, power steering pumps and air compressors.
Before a claim for excessive oil consumption will be considered, Owner must submit adequate documentation to show that consumption exceeds Cummins published standards.
Failures of belts supplied by Cummins are not covered beyond the first year or 24,141 kilometers (15,000 miles) of operation, whichever occurs first, from the date of delivery of the Engine to the first user.
Parts used to repair a Warrantable Failure may be new Cummins parts, Cummins approved rebuilt parts or repaired parts. Cummins is not responsible for failures resulting from the use of parts not approved by Cummins.
A new Cummins or Cummins approved rebuilt part used to repair a Warrantable Failure assumes the identity of the part it replaced and is entitled to the remaining coverage hereunder.
Cummins Inc. reserves the right to interrogate Electronic Control Module (ECM) data for purposes of failure analysis.
In the case of consumer sales, in some countries the Owner has statutory rights which cannot be affected or limited by the terms of this Warranty.
Nothing in this Warranty excludes or restricts any contractual rights the Owner may have against third parties.
