Limited Warranty & Limitation of Liability

LIMITED WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Effective 2026-08-15. Applies to products purchased directly from Bushido Performance Inc. This is a Limited Warranty. It is not a full warranty. Its terms, conditions, and exclusions are stated below.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ON A PRODUCT BUSHIDO MANUFACTURES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM DELIVERY. THIS LIMIT DOES NOT APPLY TO A PRODUCT BUSHIDO RESOLD AND DID NOT MANUFACTURE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you. See Section 12.

1. Commercial Sale

Products in our heavy-duty truck catalog are commercial goods intended for installation on medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles by qualified persons, and are not sold for personal, family, or household purposes. By placing an order for those products, Buyer represents that they are purchased for commercial or business use. Products in our specialty and imported-vehicle catalog may be purchased for either personal or commercial use.

2. Limited Warranty

Bushido Performance Inc. ("Bushido") warrants to the original purchaser that its products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship, when installed and operated under normal conditions in the application for which the part is listed, as follows:

  • Structural integrity — cracking, fracture, delamination, or failure at a fastener point: ninety (90) days from the date of delivery.
  • Finish and coating — ninety (90) days from the date of delivery.
  • Fit — until the part is painted, coated, cut, drilled, modified, or installed, whichever occurs first. See Section 4.

This warranty runs to the original purchaser only and is not transferable.

This warranty applies to products manufactured by Bushido. Products that Bushido resells and did not manufacture are covered by the warranty, if any, of the manufacturer of those products, which Bushido passes through to Buyer to the extent it is transferable. Nothing in this warranty limits, replaces, or enlarges any warranty offered by a third-party manufacturer. Products Bushido did not manufacture are identified as such on their product page. If you believe a resold product is defective, start the claim with us using the procedure in Section 7 and we will tell you the manufacturer, the warranty term that applies, and whether we or the manufacturer will handle it.

3. Installation

Bushido recommends that these products be installed by a qualified heavy-duty truck body shop or technician with the tools, knowledge, and experience necessary to perform the work. Installation must follow all applicable OEM torque specifications, fastener requirements, and mounting points.

This warranty does not cover any product that has been:

  • installed other than in accordance with our written instructions or applicable OEM specifications;
  • used in an application other than the one for which the part is listed, or otherwise misapplied;
  • modified, drilled, cut, heated, re-formed, or altered, except as expressly permitted by the installation instructions;
  • subjected to accident, collision, overload, abuse, neglect, road debris impact, or continued operation after a defect became apparent;
  • worn out through normal use, or corroded through ordinary environmental exposure.

The requirement to use a qualified heavy-duty truck body shop or technician is a recommendation, not a condition of this warranty, and installing a specialty or imported-vehicle product yourself does not by itself void it. The exclusions above apply to how the product was installed and used, not to who performed the work.

Bushido is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any installer, technician, or repair facility.

4. Test Fit Before Painting or Installing

Buyer must dry test-fit every part on the actual vehicle before any drilling, cutting, sanding, prep, primer, paint, or permanent fastening.

A part that has been painted, coated, cut, drilled, modified, or installed is deemed accepted as to fit and finish, and is not returnable. Claims regarding fit are outside this warranty once any of those steps has been taken. This Section 4 states requirements of the limited warranty in Section 2 only. It does not limit any implied warranty, or any right or remedy, that cannot lawfully be limited.

Minor adjustment — elongating a mounting hole, adding a shim, minor trimming — may be necessary and is normal for aftermarket body and structural components. It is not a defect.

Surface characteristics inherent to the manufacturing process, including minor scratches, tool marks, small dents, flow lines, and cosmetic variation in coating, are normal and are not considered defects.

5. Fitment Data, Descriptions and Catalog Information

Fitment tables, chassis-code lists, year/make/model data, OEM cross-reference numbers, product descriptions, photographs, drawings, and samples are provided for the sole purpose of identifying the product and indicating the vehicles and OEM parts with which it is designed to be compatible.

Fitment information is provided as a guide. Vehicle configurations vary, and Buyer must verify fitment before painting, cutting, drilling, modifying, or installing the product. Where a product does not conform to the fitment information published for it, Buyer's remedy is replacement, credit, or refund under Section 9, and Bushido is not liable for labor, downtime, or other costs excluded by Sections 10 and 11.

Configurations vary by build date, trim, market, and prior repair history. Verify by comparing the product against the part being replaced and confirming the OEM part number on the vehicle.

6. Aftermarket Parts — Non-Affiliation

Bushido Performance Inc. manufactures certain products in its catalog and resells others manufactured by third parties. Bushido is an independent manufacturer and supplier of aftermarket replacement parts. Bushido is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by Kenworth, Peterbilt, PACCAR, Freightliner, Daimler Truck, Volvo, Mack, Navistar, Mitsubishi, or any other vehicle or original equipment manufacturer.

All manufacturer names, model names, part numbers, and trademarks appearing on this site are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification and compatibility reference. No affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement is inferred or implied. Our parts are not OE parts; they are replacement parts for use in equipment of various manufacturers.

7. How to Make a Claim

No product may be returned without a Return Authorization (RA) number. Write the RA number clearly on the outside of the package. Returns received without one may be refused or delayed.

Email sales@bushidoperformanceinc.com within the warranty period with:

  1. the original order or invoice number;
  2. the complaint — the symptom or condition that led to the inspection ("fairing panel loose at highway speed," "cracking at the upper mounting point"). Descriptions consisting only of "bad," "faulty," or "failed" cannot be processed;
  3. the cause — the physical condition of the part on inspection (cracked, fractured, elongated hole, fastener pulled through);
  4. the correction — the repair performed or required;
  5. photographs of the part as installed and after removal;
  6. installation records, where available.

Bushido may require the part to be returned, freight prepaid, for inspection before a claim is approved, and will reimburse return freight on approved claims. We will give you the return address together with your RA number. On an approved claim we also pay the freight to send the replacement part to you. Parts under consideration for a claim must not be destroyed, discarded, or repaired before authorization. Inspection may be destructive. Bushido will notify Buyer before any destructive testing and will give Buyer a reasonable opportunity to document the product beforehand. Final determination of whether a product is defective rests in the reasonable discretion of Bushido, which may require verification by its own inspection notwithstanding any report from Buyer's mechanic or shop.

Prompt notice and preservation of the product are required. Buyer must notify Bushido in writing within thirty (30) days after discovering a condition believed to be a defect, and in any event within the applicable warranty period. Until Bushido has had a reasonable opportunity to inspect, Buyer must preserve the product in its as-removed condition and must not alter, repair, discard, or return it to service, and must preserve the mounting points and surrounding installation to the extent reasonably practicable. Where these requirements are not met and Bushido’s ability to evaluate the claim is materially prejudiced as a result, the claim may be denied. This Section 7 states requirements of the limited warranty in Section 2 only. It does not limit any implied warranty, or any right or remedy, that cannot lawfully be limited.

8. Freight Damage

Inspect every shipment on arrival, whether or not the part will be installed immediately. If the outer packaging shows damage, open the box and inspect the contents, and, where the carrier presents a delivery receipt, note the damage on it before the driver leaves. Where you sign a delivery receipt without noting damage, you certify that the goods were received in apparently good condition. Many parcel shipments are left without a signature and without any delivery receipt; where that happens, photograph the packaging and the item and report within the time stated below, and no receipt is required. If you ship to an address other than your own, you must instruct the recipient to inspect on delivery.

Damage and shortages that are apparent or reasonably discoverable on delivery must be reported to Bushido within forty-eight (48) hours of delivery.

Concealed damage or shortage that was not reasonably discoverable on delivery must be reported to Bushido within five (5) business days after discovery, and in no event later than thirty (30) days after delivery.

Failure to follow the applicable procedure may limit our ability to recover from the carrier and may result in loss of the claim.

9. Exclusive Remedy

IF A PRODUCT IS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE, BUSHIDO'S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE, AT BUSHIDO'S SOLE OPTION: (A) REPLACEMENT OF THE PRODUCT, (B) ISSUANCE OF CREDIT, OR (C) REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

THIS SHALL BE BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUSHIDO, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND NEGLIGENT MANUFACTURE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

This Section states the remedy for a warranty claim on a product Bushido has delivered. It does not apply to, reduce, or replace: a return under our Refund Policy; a refund owed because we could not ship your order within the time stated in our Shipping Policy, which is always paid to your original payment method and never as credit or a voucher; or any right or remedy under a statute that cannot lawfully be waived or limited, including the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act.

10. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL BUSHIDO'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY PRODUCT — WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY — EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE ACTUALLY PAID BY BUYER FOR THE PRODUCT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

11. Exclusion of Consequential and Incidental Damages

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUSHIDO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, PROGRESSIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, ACTUAL OR ALLEGED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY PRODUCT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THIS EXCLUSION INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION:

  • LOSS OF USE OF THE VEHICLE ("DOWNTIME");
  • LABOR CHARGES FOR REMOVAL, REINSTALLATION, DIAGNOSIS, PREP, PAINT, OR REFINISHING;
  • TOWING, ROADSIDE SERVICE, RECOVERY, OR STORAGE CHARGES;
  • DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, TO ANY ATTACHED COMPONENT OR TRAILER, OR TO ANY OTHER PROPERTY;
  • LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO CARGO;
  • RENTAL OR SUBSTITUTE EQUIPMENT COSTS;
  • LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST TIME, OR LOST LOAD;
  • FREIGHT, EXPEDITING, AND DIAGNOSTIC CHARGES;
  • LODGING, MEALS, AND TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES;
  • FINES, CITATIONS, PENALTIES, OR OUT-OF-SERVICE COSTS;
  • OR ANY OTHER LOSS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, USE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT.

THIS EXCLUSION APPLIES EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

12. Disclaimer of Other Warranties

EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY EXPRESSLY STATED IN SECTION 2 AND THE FITMENT-CONFORMITY REMEDY STATED IN SECTION 5, BUSHIDO MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ON A PRODUCT BUSHIDO MANUFACTURES, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO NINETY (90) DAYS FROM DELIVERY AND IS NOT OTHERWISE DISCLAIMED.

For products purchased for personal, family, or household use, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are not disclaimed and, on a product Bushido manufactures, are limited in duration to ninety (90) days from delivery, to the extent permitted by law. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so this limitation may not apply to you.

The ninety (90) day limit on the duration of implied warranties stated above applies only to products manufactured by Bushido, for which Bushido gives the written warranty in Section 2. Bushido does not limit the duration of any implied warranty on a product it resold and did not manufacture.

No employee, agent, dealer, or representative of Bushido is authorized to make any other warranty, or to assume any other liability, for or on behalf of Bushido. No statement made in a phone call, message, listing, or email creates any warranty beyond the one stated in Section 2.

13. Time Limit on Claims

Any action arising out of or related to any product must be commenced within two (2) years after the cause of action accrues, or it shall be barred. This limit does not apply to any claim under a statute that sets its own limitations period which cannot lawfully be shortened, including the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act.

14. Governing Law

This warranty is governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute shall be brought exclusively in the state courts located in Kaufman County, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division.

15. Severability and Savings

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to Buyer. Nothing in this warranty excludes or limits liability to the extent such liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

Nothing in this warranty waives or limits any right or remedy under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act or any other provision of law that may not lawfully be waived.

If any provision of this warranty is held unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

16. Personal Injury

Nothing in this warranty limits or excludes liability for personal injury or death, however caused, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. The limitations in Sections 9, 10, 11 and 13 apply to economic and property claims only.
