What Is Covered

General Motors of Canada Limited will provide for repairs to the vehicle during the Warranty Period in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations contained in this booklet.

Warranty Applies

This warranty is for Cadillac vehicles registered in Canada and normally operated in Canada . GM warranty coverages may be void or subject to restrictions on GM vehicles that have been imported/exported for resale.

Repairs Covered

This warranty covers repairs to correct any vehicle defect related to materials or workmanship occurring during the Warranty Period. Needed repairs will be performed using new or remanufactured parts.

Warranty Period

The Warranty Period for all coverages begins on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put in use and ends at the expiration of the Coverage period.

Base Warranty Coverage

The complete vehicle is covered for 4 years or 80 000 kilometres, whichever comes first, except for other coverages listed here under "What Is Covered" and those items listed under "What Is Not Covered".

Tire Coverage

The original tires on your vehicle are covered against defects in materials or workmanship under the Base Warranty Coverage for 4 years or 80 000 kilometres OR until the tire requires normal replacement, whichever comes first. Any tire replaced under warranty will be covered for the remaining portion of the Base Warranty Coverage period.

The Tire Manufacturer warranty coverage may extend beyond the General Motors of Canada Limited warranty coverage. See your Tire Manufacturer dealer for specific details.

No Charge

Warranty repairs, including Towing, Parts and Labour, will be made at No Charge.

Towing

Towing is covered from a public roadway or highway to the nearest Cadillac dealership, if your vehicle cannot be driven because of a warranted defect. Restrictions may apply for towing in cases in excess of 200 kilometres. Contact your dealer for details.

Sheet Metal Coverage

Sheet metal panels are covered against corrosion and rust-through as follows:

Corrosion: Body sheet metal panels are covered against rust for 4 years or 80 000 kilometres, whichever comes first.

Rust-Through: Any body sheet metal panel that rusts-through due to corrosion (an actual hole in the sheet metal) is covered for up to 6 years, unlimited kilometres. This coverage only applies to body sheet metal panels and not to other metal components.

Important: Cosmetic or surface corrosion (resulting from stone chips, dents or scratches in the paint, or failure to repair paint damaged by stone chips, dents or scratches in the paint) is not included in sheet metal coverage.

Obtaining Repairs

To obtain warranty repairs, take the vehicle to a Cadillac dealership within the Warranty Period, and request the needed repair. A reasonable time must be allowed for the dealership to perform necessary repairs.

Accessory Coverages

All GM approved accessories marketed and sold by General Motors of Canada Limited that are permanently installed on a GM vehicle prior to delivery will be covered under the provisions of the Cadillac Base Warranty Coverage of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. In the event GM accessories are installed after vehicle delivery or are replaced under the new vehicle warranty, they will be covered (parts and labour) for the balance of the vehicle warranty, but in no event less than 12 months/20 000 kms. This coverage is only effective for GM approved accessories permanently installed by a GM dealer or an associated GM-approved Accessory Distributor/Installer (ADI).

GM accessories sold over-the-counter, or those not requiring installation, will receive the standard GM Dealer Parts Warranty for 12 months from the date of purchase (parts only). GM Licensed Accessories are covered under the accessory-specific manufacturer's warranty and are not warranted by GM or its dealers.
