Daimler Trucks will extend the warranty for each affected vehicle by a period of time from
notification of 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.

material and workmanship 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 vehicle 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.
The US Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command is the managing activity for the vehicles,
contract, and warranty policy.
Questions related to the general warranty policy should be directed
to the TACOM Warranty Coordinator (SFAE-CSS-TV-H), Horace Holt, DSN 786-6426 or
Commercial (586) 574-6426
.
6.
Government Maintenance/ Nullification.
Scheduled maintenance for the vehicles is contained in TM 9-2320-302-10 and TM Series 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.
