Exception being components identified by CARB that have an impact on vehicle emissions. There are several different schedules for emissions impact parts availability. Typical is 8 years for those. Also, electric vehicle batteries have an 8 year warranty.

Thanks for the clarification! I wasn’t 100% sure, hence my “I believe”. Glad to have this cleared up.

Greatly appreciate the share. Added this to my keep it for later information!
