CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board and Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., are pleased to explain
the emission control system warranty on your 2001 and later outboard, personal watercraft, or boat
equipped with a personal watercraft engine. In California, new outboard or personal watercraft
engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti-smog standards.
Yamaha must warrant the emission control system on your outboard, personal watercraft, or boat
equipped with a personal watercraft engine for the periods of time listed below provided there
has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your outboard or personal watercraft
engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the
ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other
emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. will repair your outboard
or personal watercraft engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
Select emission control parts from model year 2001 and later outboard or personal watercraft
engines are warranted for 4 years, or for 250 hours of use, whichever occurs first. However, war-
ranty coverage based on the hourly period is only permitted for outboard engines and personal
watercraft equipped with appropriate hour meters. If any emission-related part on your engine
is defective under warranty, the part will be repaired or replaced by Yamaha Motor Corporation,
U.S.A.
