Ryco Warranty

What is covered by this warranty?

GUD Automotive warrants RYCO products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of installation.  Within this warranty period GUD Automotive will replace the defective product free of charge. 

Should any engine or equipment be damaged as a result of the use of a proven defective RYCO product, GUD Automotive will pay to restore the engine or equipment to a condition equivalent to the state of the engine or equipment immediately prior to the damage. Consequential damage claims will not be covered by this Warranty.

IMPORTANT:  Depending on the particular product involved and/or the equipment which has incurred damage, it may be necessary for GUD Automotive to inspect the damage.  Therefore, contact should be made with GUD Automotive to discuss the defective RYCO product before any repairs are carried out. 

Conditions of this warranty

It is a condition of this warranty our products be installed in accordance with current published catalogue vehicle listings. This warranty will be void if the product has not been installed in accordance with the installation instructions in effect at the time of installation or in accordance with the vehicle, engine or equipment manufacturers’ recommendations. 

This warranty covers product fitted to vehicles in original condition. GUD Automotive does not warrant product fitted to any vehicle that has been changed or modified from original specification.

This warranty does not cover any product that has been subject to misuse, neglect, negligence, accident or any other external factor outside the control of GUD Automotive or that has been improperly maintained, operated or installed.

Making a warranty claim

To make a warranty claim you should return to the place of purchase as soon as practicable after you become aware of the defect.  Your mechanic should then contact GUD Automotive on your behalf.

Alternatively you may contact GUD Automotive directly on free call 1800 804 541 between 8am and 5pm EST Monday to Friday or by email at rycoservice@gud.com.au.

If GUD Automotive requires an inspection to be undertaken, it will arrange (at its expense) for an employee or agent to carry out the inspection as soon as practicable, but no more than 14 days after being notified of the defective product.  If an inspection is not required, GUD Automotive may arrange, at its expense, to collect the defective product.  Alternatively it may request that you deliver the defective RYCO product to GUD Automotive for examination, with GUD Automotive to reimburse you for your reasonable costs incurred in making that delivery upon provision of receipts by you.

Within 21 days of carrying out an inspection or receiving a defective product for examination, GUD Automotive will determine whether the product was in fact defective and whether it is covered by this voluntary warranty.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

In addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, GUD Automotive Pty Ltd provides a LIMITED WARRANTY for RYCO products that expires either 1 YEAR after the installation of the product or upon the expiration of the operation period recommended by the original equipment manufacturer for the vehicle/engine (whichever comes first).
