Foundation Drum Brakes
BW7216 © 2014 Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC • 06/14 • All Rights Reserved • www.foundationbrakes.com
Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC (“Company”) warrants to the original retail purchaser that all brake shoes and
foundation drum brake products sold by the Company will be free from defects in materials or workmanship, for the
warranty period shown below, whichever occurs first.
The limited warranty does not cover defects or damage caused by abuse, misuse, road debris, accidents or improper
installation, maintenance or service, or use in non-standard vehicle applications that have not been approved by the
Company or which do not meet the Company’s specifications and guidelines. This warranty does not cover foundation
drum brake bushings and miscellaneous hardware. Company friction material is covered under a separate warranty.
Product:
Product claimed to be defective must be returned freight prepaid via the Original Equipment (OE) dealership or authorized
Company distributor within thirty (30) days after the date any defect is first discovered. Unauthorized repairs will void
this limited warranty.
The Company will inspect the product and make the final determination as to whether the product is covered under the
terms of this limited warranty. When a warranty claim is allowed, the Company’s responsibility is limited — at its sole
option — to repair or replace the defective product with a remanufactured exchange unit. The replacement unit will be
warranted for the remaining time period, mileage, or hours of the original warranty.
Labor:
For the first twelve (12) months, 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers), or 3,600 hours, whichever comes first, the Company
will reimburse at its current labor rate applied to the standard hours allowed in Removal and Replacement Schedule
(BW1322) when the Company determines that a defective product was installed.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, PROGRESSIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COSTS
INCURRED FOR SERVICE CALLS, TOWING, OR DOWNTIME.
