For Release in
North America: March 2012
Release Number: 21PR12
So confident is Caterpillar
about its Tier 4 technology that the company now provides a no-cost,
three-year/5,000-hour powertrain protection plan for nearly 40 machine models
equipped with Cat® emissions-control systems. The new Equipment Protection Plan
(EPP) allows Cat machine owners to reduce risk, control costs and, ultimately,
to ensure long-term value for their equipment. The protection plan adds value
to Cat machines and permits owners to “work confidently—all day, every day”
with assurance of premium protection for premium products.
The EPP covers parts and labor for
powertrain-component failures caused by defects in materials or workmanship.
The plan includes a broad range of components:
• Basic engine; transmission; torque
converter/divider; drive line; differentials; drive axles; final drives
• Hydraulic drive pumps and motors used in
hydraulic excavators and in machines with hydrostatic drive or differential
steering
• Brake components providing steering for
track-type tractors and track-type loaders
• Service-brake components internal to covered powertrain components.
Models eligible for the new plan are protected by the company’s standard
12-month warranty from the delivery date, and the automatic EPP coverage also
begins at that time and continues for 36 months or 5,000 hours. Customers can
upgrade EPP coverage to include hydraulics or can upgrade to Caterpillar Premier
Coverage by paying the difference for the added protection.
Coverage extends to all applicable machines sold and operated in the
United States and Canada, and coverage is transferable to subsequent owners,
subject to provisions available from Cat dealers. Although Caterpillar has
chosen select models for EPP coverage beginning January 2012, the company
reserves the right to add models to the program during 2012. Details are
