CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM
					 WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (and evaporative system
					 builder's name, optional) is pleased to explain the evaporative emissions
					 control system's warranty on your (model year) (SIMW type). In California, new
					 SIMW must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent
					 anti-smog standards. (evaporative system builder's name) must warrant the
					 evaporative emissions control system on your (SIMW type) for the period listed
					 below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of
					 your SIMW.
Your evaporative emissions control system may include parts
					 such as: canisters, carburetors, clamps, connectors, filters, fuel caps, fuel
					 lines, fuel tanks, valves, vapor hoses, and other associated evaporative
					 emissions control system components.
MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This evaporative emissions control system is warranted for
					 two years. If any evaporative emission-related part on your SIMW is defective,
					 the part will be repaired or replaced by (evaporative system builder's
					 name).
OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the (SIMW type) owner, you are responsible for
					 performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual.
					 (evaporative system builder's name) recommends that you retain all receipts
					 covering maintenance on your (SIMW type), but (evaporative system builder's
					 name) cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts.
As the (SIMW type) owner, you should however be aware that
					 the (evaporative system builder's name) may deny you warranty coverage if your
					 (SIMW type) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or
					 unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your (SIMW type) to a
					 (evaporative system builder's name) distribution center or service center as
					 soon as the problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a
					 reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 calendar days. If you have a
					 question regarding your warranty coverage, you should contact (insert chosen
					 evaporative system builder's contact) at 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX.
(b) A combined exhaust and evaporative
				  warranty statement is acceptable. For combined warranty statements,
				  "evaporative emission" can be replaced with "emissions" where "emissions" is
				  understood to mean both exhaust and evaporative emissions.
