Ryco Guarantee

Replacement Guarantee

In the unlikely event that a Ryco product is found to be defective due to defects in material and/or workmanship, we will replace it for you free of charge (subject to conditions).

What is covered by this voluntary warranty?

In addition to the rights that you may have as a consumer under the Australian Consumer Law, Ryco Group Pty Ltd provides a LIMITED REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE for RYCO products bought new in Australia that expires either 1 YEAR after the installation of the product or upon the expiration of the service interval recommended by the original equipment manufacturer for the vehicle/engine (whichever comes first).

During this replacement guarantee period if any engine or equipment is damaged in Australia as a direct result of the use of a RYCO product that Ryco Group determines to be defective, Ryco Group will replace the defective Ryco product free of charge and pay to restore the engine or equipment to a condition equivalent to the state of the engine or equipment immediately prior to the damage
