Normal wear items such as tires, belts, hoses, headlamps, light bulbs, brake linings, brake discs/drums, etc. are excluded from warranty coverage. All other items not subject to normal wear or gross operator neglect and abuse, such as window, seat, or wiper motors, chassis electrical switches (door, trunk lid), paint, hinges, locks, etc., shall be covered. The State reserves the right to use re-refined lubrication oils, where available, in lieu of virgin equivalent oils. The re-refined oils used by the State will meet all API and SAE standards and specifications as set forth by the vehicle manufacturer. The use of said oils shall in no way void or degrade the original manufacturer’s standard warranty. The State reserves the right to use recycled content antifreeze/coolant, where available, in lieu of virgin equivalent antifreeze/coolant when servicing its vehicles.

Inoperable vehicles shall be towed, at the contractor’s expense, to the nearest service repair facility due to a break down or malfunction and shall be included as part of the vehicle warranty. Contractors may offer extended warranties under their contract. REPAIR PARTS The manufacture of the awarded vehicle(s) should maintain an adequate stock of all regular and special parts to meet the continuing service and repair parts needs of the State without undue delay. A special system shall be set up for expediting the procurement of back-order items needed to repair an inoperative vehicle including a system to air freight parts at factory expense when parts are not in stock in California parts depots.
