Coverage
Products Warranted
This Warranty applies to B, ISB, ISB5.9 G, ISD,
B5.9 G, B Gas Plus and B Gas International Engines sold by Cummins and delivered to the first user on or after January 1, 1999, that are used in automotive on-highway applications anywhere in the world where Cummins approved service is available, except Europe*, Canada, United States** and Latin America***, except for Engines used in bus and coach applications or ISB Engines in New Zealand and Australia for which different Warranty Coverage is provided.
Base Engine Warranty
This Warranty covers any failures of the Engine which result, under normal use and service, from defects in material or factory workmanship (Warrantable Failures). This Coverage begins with the sale of the Engine by Cummins and continues for one year after the date of delivery of the Engine to the first user.
Cummins Responsibilities
Cummins will pay for all parts and labor needed to repair the damage to the Engine resulting from a Warrantable Failure.
Cummins will pay for the lubricating oil, antifreeze, filter elements, belts, hoses and other maintenance items that are not reusable due to a Warrantable Failure.
Cummins will pay for reasonable labor costs for Engine removal and reinstallation when necessary to repair a Warrantable Failure.
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.
Owner Responsibilities
Owner is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Engine as specified in Cummins Operations and Maintenance Manuals.
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 product available for repair by such facility. Owner must also deliver the Engine to the repair facility. Service locations are listed on the Cummins Worldwide Service Locator at cummins.com.
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 a Warrantable Failure.
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
Engines with an emissions certification listed below must be operated using only diesel fuel having no more than the corresponding maximum sulfur content. Failure to use the specified fuel (see also Cummins Fuel Bulletin #3379001) can damage the Engine and aftertreatment system within a short period of time. This damage could cause the Engine to become inoperable and failures attributable to the use of incorrect fuels will be denied Warranty Coverage.
| Maximum sulfur levels by emissions certification level as listed on the Engine’s dataplate are: | |
| EPA 2007 | max. 15 parts per million |
| EPA 2010 | max. 15 parts per million |
| EPA Tier 4 Interim / Final | max. 15 parts per million |
| EU Stage IIIB 2011 | max. 15 parts per million |
| Euro 4/5 | max. 50 parts per million |
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 not responsible for failures or damage resulting from what Cummins determines to be abuse or neglect, including, but not limited to: operation without adequate coolant 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 or diesel exhaust fluid, catalytic reagent, dirt or other contaminants in the fuel, oil, diesel exhaust fluid, catalytic reagent or intake air system.
With certain exceptions, this Warranty does not apply to accessories supplied by Cummins which bear the name of another company. Exceptions to which the Warranty applies:
- Fuel pumps, vacuum pumps and power steering pumps are covered for the duration of the Base Engine Warranty.
- Starters, alternators and non-Cummins air compressors are covered for six months or 50,000 miles (80,468 kilometers) of operation, whichever occurs first, from the date of delivery of the Engine to the first user.
Examples of accessories to which this Warranty does not apply are: air conditioning compressors, clutches, air cleaners, fans, filters, transmissions and torque converters. 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 15,000 miles (24,141 kilometers) or one year of operation, whichever occurs first.
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.
