Obtaining Warranty Service
Warranty service is to be performed by a local authorized John Deere marine engine service outlet before the expiration of the warranty. Authorized service outlets will use only new or remanufactured parts or components furnished or approved by John Deere.
Authorized service locations can be found on Dealer Locator at www.JohnDeere.com worldwide, or by calling 1-800-JDENGINE (800-533-6446) in the United States and Canada. At the time of requesting warranty service, the purchaser must be prepared to present evidence of the date of delivery of the engine in a new vessel, or the date of installation of the engine if repower.
John Deere reimburses authorized service outlets for limited travel expenses incurred in making warranty service repairs in non-John Deere applications when travel is actually performed. Contact your local authorized service dealer for current travel reimbursement limits. If distances and travel times are greater than reimbursed by John Deere, the service outlet will charge the purchaser for the difference.
No Representations or Implied Warranty
Where permitted by law, neither John Deere nor any company affiliated with it makes any guaranties, warranties, conditions, representations or promises, express or implied, oral or written, as to the nonoccurrence of any defect or the quality or performance of its engines other than those set forth herein, and DOES NOT MAKE ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS otherwise provided for in the Uniform Commercial Code or required by any Sale of Goods Act or any other statute. This exclusion includes fundamental terms. In no event will a John Deere engine distributor or engine service dealer, John Deere equipment dealer, or John Deere or any company affiliated with John Deere be liable for incidental or consequential damages or injuries including, but not limited to, loss of profits, loss of harvests, rental of substitute equipment or other commercial loss, damage to the vessel or equipment in which the engine is installed or for damage suffered by purchaser as a result of fundamental breaches of contract or breach of fundamental terms, unless such damages or injuries are caused by the gross negligence or intentional acts of the foregoing parties.
Remedy Limitation
The remedies set forth in this warranty are the purchaser’s exclusive remedies in connection with the performance of, or any breach of guaranty, condition, or warranty in respect of new John Deere engines. In the event the above warranty fails to correct purchaser’s performance problems caused by defects in workmanship and/or materials, purchaser’s exclusive remedy shall be limited to payment by John Deere of actual damages in an amount not to exceed the cost of the engine.
No Seller's Warranty
No person or entity, other than John Deere, who sells the engine or product in which the engine has been installed makes any guaranty or warranty of its own on any engine warranted by John Deere unless it delivers to the purchaser a separate written guaranty certificate specifically guaranteeing the engine, in which case John Deere shall have no obligation to the purchaser. Neither original equipment manufacturers, boat builders, engine installers, engine or equipment distributors, engine or equipment dealers, nor any other person or entity, has any authority to make any representation or promise on behalf of John Deere or to modify the terms or limitations of this warranty in any way.
