This may be due to the front endcone insulation from the catalyt ic converter breaking away and blocking the front of the first catalyst brick and preventing the free flow of exhaust gas through the converter.Special Policy AdjustmentThis special policy covers the condition described above for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles (190,000 km), whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally placed in service, regardless of ownership. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.

What are the benefits of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline
containing the "Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Clean engines help provide optimal fuel economy and performance and . Also, use of
TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help reduce deposit related concerns.reduced emissions
A new class of fuel called TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is appearing at retail
stations of some fuel marketers. This gasoline meets detergency standards
developed by four automotive companies. All vehicles will benefit from using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline over gasoline
containing the "Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Those vehicles that have experienced deposit related concerns may especially benefit
from the use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline.
