I'm noticing various discrepancies... can we pause for a moment and nail down a few things?
As I understand it from reading the settlement documents:
- the Gen 3 extended emissions warranty 11 years / 162K miles coverage from in service date takes effect at the completion of phase 1. This can be verified by checking your VIN status at the claims portal; if you have had the phase 1 it will indicate the extended warranty is in effect... the point being that you don't have to wait until phase 2 completion to be covered by the extended warranty.
- the whole thing about phase 2A and 2B... the 40K mile / 70K miles determination for whether you get 2A or 2B applies ONLY to cars that were purchased with the phase 1 already done - they get 2A. They back later after the car has 70K miles for 2A.
- if you bought a new car before the stop sale and you have had the phase 1 done, irrespective of mileage, your phase 2 is "full 2A+B" and will include a 2nd NOx sensor and the new hardware systems - DPF, DOC, and SCR, etc.
- the complimentary tank of fuel and maintenance service is when you get your DFP replaced the second time if your mileage was less than 40K/DSG or 70K/MT at the time of phase 2A+B, or when you get the 2B later after getting just the 2A (the cars bought after the stop sale with the phase 1 completed before time of purchase).
Just to be clear, here is the language...
Phase 2 of the emissions modification will involve outfitting your car with new emission control parts to ensure system reliability and durability over time. We will install a second nitrogen oxides (NOx) sensor and corresponding software to improve the performance of the on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. In addition, the Phase 2 update will include installation of a new Diesel Particulate Filter, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, and Selective Catalytic Reduction Converter. These components are needed to maintain emissions performance for the full useful life (150,000 miles) of your vehicle. If your vehicle has accumulated less than 40,000 miles (for automatic transmissions) or 70,000 miles (for manual transmissions) at the time of your Phase 2 update, your car may need to have the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst replaced a second time before it reaches 150,000 miles.
If you purchased a vehicle with the Phase 1 emissions modification already applied and your vehicle has accumulated fewer than 40,000 miles (for automatic transmissions) or 70,000 miles (for manual transmissions) at the time of your Phase 2 update, we will not replace the Diesel Particulate Filter, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, and Selective Catalytic Reduction Converter in your vehicle at that time and we request that you return at a future date for its replacement once your vehicle has accumulated at least 70,000 miles. At the time of this service, you will receive a complimentary maintenance service with a free tank of fuel and have the aforementioned hardware installed at that time.
Does anyone disagree with what I'm reading in the document?
