Carrollton, Texas, November 18, 2002 – A new 3+1 year limited warranty will be effective immediately for all 2003 and later TLDI® (Two-stroke Low-pressure Direct Injection) Tohatsu brand outboard motors distributed by Tohatsu America Corporation in the USA. This new warranty now gives the award winning TLDI Outboards the longest standard factory warranty in the industry for Direct Fuel Injected motors.
 
Kurt Gardner, National Sales Manager of Tohatsu America Corp., said: “After six years of testing, the TLDI® outboards were introduced two years ago. We had great confidence in the product before we released it to the general public, and that confidence has been justified over the past two years. All the anecdotal evidence from dealers and consumers and the virtual absence of warranty claims on our TLDI® product have convinced us that extending the two year warranty to three years and the warranty on major TLDI® components to four years was justified and would give consumers that much more confidence in purchasing TLDI® outboards.”
 
The new limited warranty actually provides four years (48 months) of coverage from the first date of retail sale or actual installation. The second and third years of the warranty cover the cost of parts and labor for major components and TLDI® technology-related components including the powerhead, direct injection system, exhaust system and 16 other major components. The fourth year covers the parts and labor for TLDI technology components.
