subsequent owner that the evaporative emission control system when installed was:
(1) Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform with all applicable regulations; and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship that causes the failure of a warranted part for a period of one year.

be warranted for the warranty period defined in subsection (b) (2).

warranty. Any such part repaired or replaced under the warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the
remaining warranty period.
(2) Any warranted part that is scheduled only for regular inspection in the written instructions must be warranted
for the warranty period defined in subsection (b) (2). A statement in such written instructions to the effect of "repair
or replace as necessary" will not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part repaired or replaced under
warranty must be warranted for a time not less than the remaining warranty period.
(3) Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the written instructions must be
warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the
first scheduled replacement, the part must be repaired or replaced by METL Any such part repaired or replaced under

defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a warranty station.
(7) Throughout the evaporative emission control system's warranty period set out in subsection (b) (2), METL issuing
the warranty must maintain a supply of warranted parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such parts.
(8) Manufacturer approved replacement parts must be used in the performance of any warranty maintenance or
repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. Such use will not reduce the warranty obligations of the
manufacturer issuing the warranty.
(9) The use of any add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim made in accordance with
this article. The manufacturer issuing the warranty will not be liable under this Article to warrant failures of warranted
parts caused by the use of an add-on or modified part.
(10) METL issuing the warranty shall provide any documents that describe the warranty procedures or policies within
five working days of request by the Executive Officer.
