OFFICIAL WARRANTY STATEMENT CONDITIONS OF TENNECO PRODUCT IN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA
 

DISCLAIMER: This document is intended for convenience and reference only and not intended to define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of any applicable statutory provisions nor of any provisions of any existing contracts. In case of discrepancies between this document and any other official bilateral warranty conditions, the latter shall prevail. All brands which are referred to in this document are registered trademarks of Tenneco Inc. or one of its subsidiaries in one or more countries, distributed by Federal-Mogul and/or DRiV (hereinafter collectively “DRiV”).

The parts we supply will correspond with their specification at the time of delivery and will be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration of the mentioned warranty period. All of our newly purchased products come with this guarantee promising our products will perform as expected under normal usage of the car with normal wear and tear of the part. DRiV will accept no liability in respect of any defect arising from unfair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, misuse (racing, rally or motorsports and off-road), recycling or reconditioning, or alteration of the parts or failure to fit to the correct vehicle as determined by DRiV’s own catalogue. The warranty period starts from the date of installation. A warranty service does not lead to an extension of the warranty period, nor does it set a new warranty period in motion.

In any other case, where there is a valid claim, DRiV will be liable to repair or replace the faulty parts free of charge or refund the price of the parts, under normal conditions within a set amount of time, depending on the specifics of the written warranty as explained in specific sections below. With our warranty statement we are demonstrating our confidence in the quality of our products.

In all cases, the warranty conditions of the respective partner organization from which the product has been purchased apply. In the event of a warranty claim or for the warranty conditions, please contact the organization where the product has been purchased.

If you are a direct customer of DRiV, Kontich, Belgium, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries in the EMEA region (you have received an invoice from DRiV directly for your purchases) you can file your warranty claim through the DRiV warranty portal:

Warranty Conditions apply for parts fitted, not for issues occurring before installation, or during transportation and/or storage. When parts have been returned under warranty to your local supplier, DRiV has the rights to examine all components including any associated parts to determine whether the failure has resulted from how the part has been installed, if there is a problem with associated components, or for any other reason.

All claims must be processed through the recognized party who has sold you the part. The claim can then be progressed to the organization from which the part originated from.
