Emissions warranty in US

[Greg Smith]

I have a 2000 Forester with 89,000 miles.

It had two oxygen sensors replaced under warranty within the whole-
vehicle warranty period.

I have a Check Engine light on again. I own an OBD code reader and it's
indicating a malfunctioning catalyst. If this is the case, I am not
thrilled as I recently replaced the catalyst on my Land Rover and I know
what those things cost!

If it IS the catalyst, are emissions components covered under warranty
to 100,000 miles? Again, this is in the USA.

I think it's 80,000 miles but, check the warranty manual that came with the
vehicle. ed

I *THINK* its 8years/80,000 miles.

US vehicles have a separate Federal emissions
hardware warranty. IIRC, it runs out to 75K
miles or so, and seven or eight years. Check
your warranty booklet.

Not positive, but I seem to recall Cali spec
vehicles had an even longer Cali-state mandated
emissions hardware warranty.
