Claims for adjusting or tightening will not be paid under warranty.

Adjustment of the locking mechanism, bushings, slide locking plungers, and the repair or replacement of lock guards are considered routine maintenance and are not covered under this Warranty.

Glass, mirror, or lens breakage or chips or scratches of glass, mirrors, or lenses are not covered by this Warranty.

Daimler Trucks North America has established a Roof Fairing Removal program in order to reduce transport related damage. The Transporter will remove the fairing during the decking process and secure the fairing on the frame rail of the unit. Benefits for this program include fewer units towed in reverse and an overall improved delivery process.

Some units will continue to be received with the fairing collapsed. It is the Dealer’s responsibility to mount these fairings correctly. Claims for mounting of these collapsed fairings will not be covered under warranty.

Those units received with the fairing removed, DTNA warranty will reimburse for the re-installation of the roof fairing prior to delivery to the end customer.

If vehicle is drop shipped directly to customer:

Transporter notifies customer that roof fairing has been removed for transport and arranges for re-installation prior to or at delivery.

• If customer has facilities for re-installation of roof fairings, then fairings will be re-installed at final delivery location.

• If customer does not have facilities to re-install fairings, transporter will arrange with nearest authorized DTNA dealership to have fairings re-installed and shuttle units to customer location at no additional cost to our customer.

Allison transmissions and components are not covered under this Warranty, but are warranted separately by Allison. Information regarding Allison’s warranty is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change. For warranty or service information, contact Allison’s authorized sales and service facility.

Routing maintenance, servicing, and adjustment, as defined in the applicable Vehicle Maintenance Manual and Driver’s Manual, are excluded from Warranty.

Periodic adjustment or re-torque of wheel bearings, wheel lug nuts, and suspension U-bolts are considered maintenance adjustments and are not covered under warranty.

Vibrations, squeaks, rattles, loose fittings/clamps, hose fitting leaks, loose nuts/bolts/screws, and loose electrical connections may develop during the initial trip(s) of the vehicle and these types of repairs/adjustments are covered under warranty one time during the following applicable initial operating periods unless excluded in the paragraphs below.

Reminder: After the following initial operating periods, these developments are the result of use and their repair/adjustment activities are considered routine maintenance and thus excluded from warranty.

The Initial Operating Period (IOP) for Daimler Trucks North America LLC vehicles is as follows:

Make Initial Operating Period

Freightliner, Sterling, Western Star Up to 15,000 miles/ 24 000 km

Subsequent adjustments and tightening of mirror mounting hardware are considered part of the routine preparation of the vehicle before Customer delivery. Claims for adjusting the mirrors or tightening of the attaching hardware will not be paid under warranty during or after the initial operating period.

• Claims for re-routing of electrical wiring, hoses, or lines which meet Daimler Trucks North America’s routing standards will not be paid under warranty during or after the initial operating period.

• Final preparation of the vehicle for Customer delivery to include cleaning/vacuuming interior of cab, washing windows, washing the exterior of the vehicle, polishing exterior chromed or painted surfaces are considered as ordering-Dealer responsibilities.

Any vehicles used in endurance testing, such as the Altoona Test, are void of all warranty, new or used.

The tires are not covered under this Warranty, but are warranted separately by the tire manufacturer. Tire balancing is not covered under warranty.

This Warranty is transferable to a subsequent Owner if it has not expired. To ensure the Owner receives proper warranty recognition, the ownership information should be updated in the Company system.

To ensure Company's ability to reach the current Owner with Recall and Field Service campaign information, the Owner's information must be updated whenever there is a change to the Owner’s name or address.

Company reserves the right to make improvements or changes to the product at any time without incurring any obligation to make such changes or improvements to any other vehicle.

It is the Owner's responsibility to ensure the vehicle is maintained as outlined in the Driver’s/Operator's and Maintenance Manuals. It is important that the new Owner becomes familiar with the contents of the warranty information. When the Owner first receives the vehicle, Dealer should review the Owner's Warranty Information booklet with the Owner.

To initiate warranty for all makes except TBB Bodies and TBB Chassis, customer must complete and sign the Warranty Start Form (WAR275). Dealer must attach the Warranty Start Form to the Product Registration screen in OWL.

Brake component must be filed directly to the engine manufacturer.

Failures on non-proprietary engine components can be filed through

DTNA.

Daimler Trucks North America has established a Roof Fairing Removal program in order to reduce transport related damage. The Transporter will remove the fairing during the decking process and secure the fairing on the frame rail of the unit. Benefits for this program include fewer units towed in reverse and an overall improved delivery process.

Some units will continue to be received with the fairing collapsed. It is the Dealer’s responsibility to mount these fairings correctly. Claims for mounting of these collapsed fairings will not be covered under warranty.

Those units received with the fairing removed, DTNA warranty will reimburse for the re-installation of the roof fairing prior to delivery to the end customer.

If vehicle is drop shipped directly to customer:

Transporter notifies customer that roof fairing has been removed for transport and arranges for re-installation prior to or at delivery.

• If customer has facilities for re-installation of roof fairings, then fairings will be re-installed at final delivery location.

• If customer does not have facilities to re-install fairings, transporter will arrange with nearest authorized DTNA dealership to have fairings re-installed and shuttle units to customer location at no additional cost to our customer.

Allison transmissions and components are not covered under this

Warranty, but are warranted separately by Allison. Information regarding Allison’s warranty is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change. For warranty or service information, contact
