How many years/miles does the EPA require the emissions related equipment warranty to be?

My fuzzy memory is that it was 100,000 miles but got bumped higher?



Vehicles with California emissions equipment have an additional separate warranty mandated by the state of California of 7 years / 70,000 miles from when the vehicle is first put into service, whichever comes first and regardless of ownership. This warranty covers many more parts than the federal warranty. There are also some vehicles that have emission parts covered well beyond the 8 years / 80,000 miles afforded by the Federal Emissions Warranty.

Performance Warranty

The Performance Warranty covers repairs which are required during the first 2 years
or 24,000 miles of vehicle use (whichever first occurs) because the vehicle failed an
emission test. Specified major emission control components are covered for the first
8 years or 80,000 miles (whichever first occurs). If you are a resident of an area with
an Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) program that meets federal guidelines, you are
eligible for this warranty protection provided that:

There are three specified major emission control components, covered for the first 8 years or
80,000 miles of vehicle use (whichever first occurs) on 1995 and newer vehicles:
• Catalytic converters
• The electronic emissions control unit or computer (ECU)
• The onboard emissions diagnostic device or computer (OBD)
