Standard Warranty Claim Procedure

 All Standard Warranty claims must be directed to IAG Performance for assignment of a return merchandise authorization number (RMA). Following the issuance of an RMA claim number, IAG requires the engine to be returned to our facility for inspection and final determination of claim eligibility. The client is responsible for all shipping and handling costs to return the engine back to IAG. Upon receipt of the engine, IAG will disassemble the engine to determine if product manufacturing, assembly, parts defect, improper installation, or improper tuning directly or indirectly caused the engine to prematurely fail. After engine tear down is complete IAG will determine whether warranty coverage applies.

 

Enhanced Warranty Claim Procedure

All Enhanced Warranty claims must be directed to an IAG Certified Engine Installer for assignment of a return merchandise authorization number (RMA). Following the issuance of an RMA claim number, IAG requires the engine to be returned to our facility for inspection and final determination of claim eligibility. The client must authorize the Certified Engine Installer to remove the engine from the vehicle. The client is responsible for all shipping and handling costs to return the engine to IAG. Upon receipt of the engine, IAG will disassemble the engine to determine the cause of failure. After engine tear down is complete, IAG will determine whether warranty coverage applies. If the engine is deemed to be covered under warranty, IAG will reimburse the Certified Engine Installer for a pre-determined cost of labor. If the engine is not deemed to be covered under this limited warranty, the client will be responsible for all labor costs associated with the removal and reinstallation of the engine or components.
