WARRANTY COVERAGE
Installation of the LMS™ Hub requires certification by Dana. The Dana LMS™ Hub is covered for 3 years/350,000 miles for
On/ Off-Highway applications, when installation is performed by certified installers, and Dana approved synthetic lubes are
used.
CAUTION: The wheel seal cannot be reused. Any time the hub is removed from the spindle, the seal must be
replaced. Failure to follow this requirement will void warranty.
