foundation drum brake products sold by the Company will be free from defects in materials or workmanship, for the 
warranty period shown below, whichever occurs first.
The limited warranty does not cover defects or damage caused by abuse, misuse, road debris, accidents or improper 
installation, maintenance or service, or use in non-standard vehicle applications that have not been approved by the 
Company or which do not meet the Company’s specifications and guidelines.  This warranty does not cover foundation 
drum brake bushings and miscellaneous hardware.  Company friction material is covered under a separate warranty.
Product:
Product claimed to be defective must be returned freight prepaid via the Original Equipment (OE) dealership or authorized 
Company distributor within thirty (30) days after the date any defect is first discovered.  
Unauthorized repairs will void 
this limited warranty.
The Company will inspect the product and make the final determination as to whether the product is covered under the 
terms of this limited warranty.  When a warranty claim is allowed, the Company’s responsibility is limited — at its sole 
option — to repair or replace the defective product with a remanufactured exchange unit.  The replacement unit will be 
warranted for the remaining time period, mileage, or hours of the original warranty.

will reimburse at its current labor rate applied to the standard hours allowed in Removal and Replacement Schedule 
(BW1322) when the Company determines that a defective product was installed.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, 
ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY 
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT,
