Warranty and SEP

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT WITH SUZUKI EXTENDED PROTECTION

You've worked and thought hard before buying a new Suzuki, and now it's yours. You've made a great choice in Suzuki because its quality, performance and durability are second to none. Also, a lot of owners just like you have made the same smart purchase decision: to buy a Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP) plan, an exclusive product of American Suzuki Motor Corporation.

While Suzuki's production techniques and materials, as well as its standard warranties, are the best, today's motorcycles and ATVs have become increasingly complex. In addition, parts and repair costs have accelerated as fast as the technology. While mechanical failures are rare in today's Suzuki models, you can protect yourself from potentially high costs for years after your standard warranty runs out by investing in extended protection.

Now is the time to take advantage of the Suzuki Extended Protection plan. SEP can be purchased when you first buy your new Suzuki, or from any authorized Suzuki dealer anytime during the coverage period of your standard Suzuki Limited Warranty (and you'll see that SEP adds a number of benefits that the standard warranty does not provide). Your Suzuki dealer is ready to furnish you with this top-quality security for your Suzuki, protection that will give you peace of mind and confidence for years to come.

UNBEATABLE BENEFITS

Along with providing complete peace of mind, the Suzuki Extended Protection plan is economical, dependable and hassle-free. Should you have a problem while covered by the plan, you can go to any authorized Suzuki dealer in the U.S. and Canada for prompt and professional service. But this is only the beginning of its value:

SUZUKI EXTENDED PROTECTION PROVIDES:

Zero Deductible
You will face no out-of-pocket expenses. Suzuki will take care of the entire cost of covered parts and repairs using Genuine Suzuki Parts (SEP contracts for used Suzuki motorcycles have a small deductible per claim).

No Mileage Limitation
Your Suzuki was built to be ridden, and we encourage you to do just that. Like the Suzuki Limited Warranty, there is no mileage limitation, so you can use and enjoy your Suzuki motorcycle or ATV to its fullest for a long, long time.

Transportation Reimbursement
In the event of a covered breakdown, SEP will repay the costs of transporting your Suzuki to your nearest dealer; up to $50 per occurrence.

Rental Vehicle Reimbursement
If your Suzuki has a covered breakdown, we will repay your out-of-pocket rental vehicle costs up to $20 per day for a maximum of six days.

Toll-Free Assistance
Should you need help with a claim or have questions, you can call SEP's toll-free number for assistance: (1-877-473-7669), weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00p.m. EST.

Transferability
Your SEP plan is transferable one time to the next owner during the life of the plan (except in New Hampshire), increasing your Suzuki's resale value.
