CAE One-Year Limited Warranty

Effective November 7, 2026

What is covered. Certified Automotive Experts Limited Liability Company ("CAE") warrants to the original retail purchaser that products bought from CAE or an authorized CAE seller will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the delivery date. Nordic Forge alloy wheels are warranted for one (1) year against structural defects. Gaskets, bolts and other hardware are warranted for thirty (30) days from the delivery date against defects in materials and workmanship only. Every warranty claim, including gaskets and hardware, requires return and inspection by CAE. Coatings and finishes are not warranted (see below). Finish problems visible at delivery must be reported within 7 days under our Return and Refund Policy.

What CAE will do. If CAE confirms a defect after inspecting the returned product, CAE will repair it, replace it with the same or an equivalent product, or refund the purchase price, at CAE's option. This is your only remedy. CAE pays to ship a repaired or replacement product back to you within the United States. A replacement product is covered for the rest of the original warranty period.

What is not covered.

  • Labor, installation, removal or reinstallation costs; towing; rental vehicles; shop fees; lost time or income.
  • Normal wear of gaskets, bolts and hardware, including crushing, stretching, thread galling, and leaks from reuse or re-torquing.
  • Coatings and finishes of any kind, including ceramic, powder, paint, polish and wheel finishes, and any peeling, flaking, chipping, fading, discoloration or corrosion of them.
  • Heat discoloration, bluing, surface rust or cosmetic changes from normal use or heat cycling.
  • Damage from improper installation, incorrect fitment selection, modification, welding, cutting, header wrap, or coatings or finishes added after purchase.
  • Damage from collisions, road or track debris, racing incidents, engine failure, overheating, improper tuning, excessive exhaust temperatures, or abuse.
  • Damage caused by other parts, including non-CAE parts. Using non-CAE parts does not by itself void this warranty.
  • For wheels: curb, pothole or impact damage; damage from tire mounting, balancing or improper lug torque; harsh cleaners or road salt; use of spacers or adapters not approved for the wheel.
  • Products bought used, from unauthorized sellers, or with altered or removed markings.
  • The cost of shipping a product to CAE for inspection, except during the 30-day return period (see How to make a claim).

How to make a claim.

  1. Within the warranty period, and within 30 days of discovering the problem, email support@certifiedautomotiveexperts.com with your order number, photos of the issue, and a description.
  2. If the claim qualifies for review, CAE will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Products returned without an RMA will be refused.
  3. Ship the product to CAE insured, with the RMA number on the box and proof of purchase enclosed. You pay the cost of shipping it to CAE for inspection. If you make the claim within 30 days of delivery, CAE sends you a prepaid return label instead.
  4. CAE will inspect the product and tell you the result, usually within 10 business days of receiving it. If no defect is found, CAE will return the product at your expense or hold it for 30 days for pickup or a prepaid return label.

Limits on implied warranties and damages. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE TERM OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. CAE IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. CAE'S TOTAL LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state. No one may change or extend this warranty. Warranty service is available only in the United States.
