The Zero Defect Guarantee — Your Shield Against Warranty Headaches

Every DuraBrake product is backed by our Zero Defect Guarantee. When you stock DuraBrake, warranty returns are not a conversation you need to have with your customers.

Warranty Should Protect You, Not Cost You

The Problem

Warranty claims eat into your margins and damage relationships with fleet customers. You need a supplier whose products rarely need warranty service — and whose process is painless when they do.

The DuraBrake Solution

DuraBrake’s Zero Defect Guarantee isn’t just a marketing promise — it reflects the quality of products manufactured at IATF 16949-certified facilities. Our warranty return rates are among the lowest in the industry, and when issues arise, our process is straightforward and fast.

Zero Defect Guarantee

What the Zero Defect Guarantee Means for Your Business

  • Products manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications — quality is built in, not inspected in
  • Industry-leading low warranty return rates protect your margins and your reputation
  • Simple, transparent claim process — because warranty headaches shouldn’t be part of doing business

How Long You’re Covered

1 Year
from Date of Purchase

All DuraBrake products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the original date of purchase by the original purchaser.

DuraBrake Limited Warranty

Warranty Coverage

DuraBrake Co., LLC (“DuraBrake”) hereby warrants to the original purchaser (“Purchaser”) of its products that it will replace or repair, at its option, all products of its manufacture found to be defective in material and workmanship, without charge. The warranty period begins from the date of purchase by Purchaser and shall extend until one (1) year from such date.

This warranty is limited to those products which fail in normal use and service because of defects in material and workmanship, with all such products being subject to inspection by an authorized representative of DuraBrake within a reasonable period after a claim is made. DuraBrake will not accept the return of any goods without its prior written consent.

Exclusive Remedy

Limitation of Liability

DuraBrake’s liability to Purchaser, or anyone claiming through or on behalf of Purchaser, with respect to any claim or loss arising out of the products, whether negligent or otherwise, and whether in tort, contract, or otherwise, including failure to deliver, delay in delivery, or breach of warranty, shall be limited to an amount equal to the purchase price of the goods or part thereof with respect to which such liability is claimed or, where appropriate and at the option of DuraBrake, to replacement of the goods or part thereof.

In no case will DuraBrake be liable for any bodily injury, death, or property damage resulting from or in any way arising out of the products or their use or manufacture.

Exclusions

DuraBrake will not be liable for any failure or damages caused by:

  • Abuse of its products or improper application or use
  • Improper installation
  • Fire, accidents, or results thereof
  • Improper or lack of maintenance
  • Acts of God

DuraBrake components cannot compensate for other deficiencies in the brake system. Please ensure all other components of the brake system are functioning properly before contacting DuraBrake for warranty consideration.

Wear & Serviceable Components

Many of DuraBrake’s parts are wear components (e.g., brake drums, brake rotors, brake pads) and serviceable components (e.g., guide sleeves, bushings, and seals). Wear and end of serviceable life are not covered under this limited warranty.

Core & Rebuild Components

For any DuraBrake products that have a component (core) that can be rebuilt and reused (such as caliper housings), DuraBrake shall have no liability or warranty for such component that is used in a new or rebuilt product.

Disclaimer of Implied Warranties

For complete terms governing all DuraBrake transactions, including orders, shipping, and returns, see our Terms & Conditions.
