WARRANTY & RETURN POLICY
Here’s the Summary
All Champion products (including radiators) come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Since the warranty is through them, all warranties are subject to their approval. Though the warranty/return rate is extremely low, we will still do our best to help you through the process and get you taken care of if it ever comes up!
A few more things:
- Don’t beat up the radiator… Physical damage voids the warranty! (Unless it happens in shipping)
- Don’t abuse the radiator… Failures due to lack of maintenence and neglect void the warranty!
- Buyer is responsible for all shipping UNLESS we’re shipping you a warranty replacement.
- Returns are allowed for the first 60 days for a product refund (shipping charges are customer responsibility)
Here’s All the Details
Limited Lifetime Warranty is the manufacturer warranty that comes with all Champion All-Aluminum Radiators. Each radiator purchased is covered for the lifetime of the original purchaser. The warranty covers any manufacturer defects such as a failed header, failed welds, etc. Any warranty must be shipped to the manufacturer corporate warehouse for inspection (see below). If a return or warranty needs to be made, please call Instant Radiator Exchange first as we have the purchase information. We will then give you further instruction.

Warranties are void if repaired or if attempted to repair unless approved by the manufacturer beforehand.
