1. Your Subaru Dealer stands behind the Authorized
Genuine Subaru Replacement Parts and Accessories he installs.
If the part or accessory fails to perform or breaks down with
normal use within 1 year (excluding wear items) of purchase,
return it to your Subaru Dealer for repairs or replacement.
2. The Limited Warranty covers authorized Genuine
Subaru Replacement Parts and Accessories for 1 year (excluding
wear parts) - regardless of the number of miles you've driven.
That means you are protected on materials and workmanship for
everything from an Authorized Genuine Subaru Alloy Wheel to
an Authorized Genuine Subaru Remanufactured Alternator.
3. Hold on to your Dealer receipts for parts
and accessories. They establish the date of purchase and can
speed up repair or replacement if required. It's that easy.
Our parts warranty is one of the highlights of the Subaru commitment
to professional service and genuine replacement parts and accessories.
For full details on coverage, please see the Subaru Warranty
and Maintenance booklet available at your local Dealership.

contaminated or lost as a result of making any such repairs. However,
SOA has no control over damage, which occurs to the part or accessory

TO GOODS, COMMERCIAL LOSS, LOSS OF TIME OR INCONVENIENCE, OR FOR

may not apply.
