the deadlined status until the vehicle is corrected and made operable.

Any supplies corrected or replaced under the warranty will carry the same warranty as when the

vehicle was originally delivered.

arising from normal use and service for 12 months. Replacement part warranty coverage is

effective from the date of retail sale.

4. Contractor Responsibilities

The vehicle contract provides you with two options (contractor repair or Government repair) for

correcting warranty defects. The choice of options is in the hands of the local unit or installation.

a. Contractor Repair. If you choose the contractor repair option, the contractor will give you a

location where the vehicle or component may be taken for repair.

b. Government Repair. You may choose to repair the vehicle yourself. If you choose to do the

work yourself, the contractor will reimburse the Government for your labor. You may choose to use

your own parts or you may request that the vehicle contractor provide you with replacement parts.

If you use your own replacement parts, you may request replacement parts instead of

reimbursement of the cost of the parts. If you do not specifically request replacement parts the

contractor will reimburse the Government for the cost of parts. The contractor shall bear the cost of

shipping parts within CONUS.

5. Government Responsibilities

policy should be directed to the TACOM Warranty Coordinator (SFAE-CSS-FP-I), DSN 786-5236,

6. Government Maintenance/Nullification

Scheduled maintenance for the vehicles is contained in TM 9-2320-302-10 and TM 9-2320-302-20.

The fact that the vehicles are covered by a warranty does not relieve the user of the responsibility

for proper operation, care and maintenance of these vehicles. Failure to perform the services

scheduled within the vehicle's technical manuals could cause your warranty to be void. Additionally

abuse of the vehicles or components could cause a warranty claim to be refused. The Operator's

Manual provides instructions for proper operation of the vehicles.
